Implement Storable for Vec<T> where T: Storable
Currently we only implement Storable for Vec<u8>. Ideally, we would have a generic implementation that allows developers to put anything that implements Storable in a Vec.
We can't introduce this implementation at this point because:
Vec<u8>is special, in the sense that we don’t need to do any serializing/deserializing for the data - which makes itsStorableimplementation fast.- For all other types, we’d need to serialize/deserialize the elements in the Vec.
We'd need to wait for generic specializations in Rust to encode the logic above. The Vec<u8> special-case is quite important as it’s very often used.
You can store vectors already. However, you would need to implement storable by hand for them. This issue is about implementing Storable for a Vec<T> where T implements Storable so you don't have to provide one for the vector yourself. As noted already we need to wait for a Rust feature (still open) to be able to implement this.
