Derive traits for rand types

[justinlovinger]

Closes #116.

What is the story for Rust 1.36.0 and this package? Is the intent to continue supporting 1.36.0 going forward? If so, I can work around the Features and dependencies cannot have the same name issue by renaming the serde feature I defined to something like serde1, but that is a worse experience for users on stable Rust.

This would require Rust 1.60 or newer, correct? I'm generally willing to drop support for older versions, but this would be a pretty big jump. On the other hand, Rust 1.60 will be a full year old within a few months, so maybe that would be a reasonable time to do this. Let me think about it.

If you'd like to separate the non-Serde traits into their own PR, I could definitely merge and release that right away.

I believe so.

I can wait while you deliberate, and I do not think anyone else urgently needs this.

Okay, my current plan is to merge this in a few months, on the theory that the number of people who are still on Rust 1.59 and earlier will have decreased further by then.

This is now published in ordered-float 3.7.0.
