Implementing Serde Traits?

[holtgrewe]

Would it make sense to implement serde traits?

[pmarks]

yes - definitely. Some types already do (https://github.com/rust-bio/rust-bio-types/blob/master/src/alignment.rs#L18).

We should expose them via a feature flag so that people who don't need serde aren't forced to have it.

@pmarks thanks, cf. #14 splits out serde support into a feature (that is by default not enabled)

[holtgrewe]

I'm really uncertain whether there should be separate tests for the serde feature... I added running tests with all features enabled, though, which means that the create is compiled with and without serde support, I think.
