Custom XML serialize/deserialize derive macro

[FlixCoder]

Hi! First of all, thank you for the work and the library!

I am encountering the expected issues that arise when using serde with quick-xml:

• For example Members of flattened structs are not converted #226 and all duplicates leading to Internal buffering disrupts format-specific deserialization features serde-rs/serde#1183 => unability to use serde(flatten)
• Lack of XML namespaces support

The actual fix seems to be not to use serde. However, manually deserializing all the structs with quick-xml NsReader is quite a bit of effort. The idea would be to provide some kind of derive macro for this that supports more use cases for XML.

This is probably out of scope for this library right? Is there any known effort or recommendations for this? yaserde was a library that previously did this, but it is outdated and unmaintained.

Thanks!

Yes, that library already exist and it is based on quick-xml! xmlserde.
