This PR has a whole bunch of changes to
core:encoding/json
which I wanted for a long time, as well as a number of bugfixes I found along the way.Changes:
The reason why I need enumerated arrays and bitsets in a more readable form is to better handle changes in the underlying data structures. Currently it's unusable for e.g. game assets when enums can change over time, since enumerated arrays and bitsets will be out of order etc. And since the index in enumerated arrays and values in bitsets are implicit, it's difficult to procedurally upgrade assets from old format to a new one. Now it should be way more flexible since it's possible to always explicitly use the enum field name or value.
