Yes. Yes, it is. Right. So as an example, actually, one of the examples is that you can integrate it with SOD JSON. So you can actually get great highlighting for which bit of a SOD JSON thing failed. And I think that's really cool.

I think in general, though, there is some value in having, you know, the kind of thing I wrote, which is like, you have like a nested tree structure, right? And you are parsing through the nested tree structure.

And you want to actually not just fail on the first error globally, but you have kind of a notion of like, you want to go through as much as possible and you want to collect as many errors as possible. And I have had to do that a few times, and I've pretty much handwritten something each time.

So that kind of suggests that maybe, I don't know if the audience has a suggestion for something that kind of does that. Otherwise, that might actually be worth doing and kind of putting out as a separate thing. Yeah, it is kind of a much bigger scope thing, but yeah.

I have a pair of really, really cool SerD-related crates. So there is a crate called SerD-Ignored, and there is another crate called SerD-PathToError. So I think both of these are really good. And again, kind of coming at it from the you want to produce good error messages kind of thing, right?

So one of the things that I've noticed when defining, say, a configuration file is that people will often misspell things, right? Surdy has this really cool deny unknown fields feature. Yeah, I love this. Right? So, and deny unknown fields is great, but sometimes you don't want an error, you instead want a warning. And Surdy ignored actually kind of lets you get that warning.

So it's kind of somewhere in the middle between like the silently accepting the, you know, maybe the typo. or failing, and I really like Serdy Ignored for that because often you want to support some kind of forward compatibility, and if you have that forward compatibility, then you don't just want to choke if you see a new option or whatever, right?

And so Serdy Ignored does a really, really good job of reporting that. And then kind of paired with that, but kind of solving a slightly different problem, is certipath2error. And what certipath2error does is it will try and report the nearest part of kind of what failed. So it'll kind of maintain some state and like, you know, which keys have you traversed into and so on.

And it does a pretty good job of that. So, you know, there's one specific asterisk which we don't really want to kind of get into right now because it detracts. But overall, like this pair of crates has just kind of been, I feel like this has like really elevated the, you know, like kind of error handling experience around configuration files for me.

Oh, boy. Um, uh, that was actually, uh, as far as, uh, I mean, I had a couple of other detail nuggets, but they'll come up there. Um, another crate that I wanted to call out, uh, and kind of, you know, as a cool proc macro crate is, uh, derive where, um, so, um, so one of the things that, you know, kind of people run into sometimes is that, uh, you want to do say like a derived debug, right.
