Use `include_str!` to trigger recompile when sample file changes
When reading sample from file using the procedural macro (e.g. json_typegen!("Point", "point.json")), if the sample file changes the compiler will not be aware that anything relevant has changed and so will not recompile.
There is a hack we can do to let the compiler know we are using a file. Output code like this in addition to the actual code:
const _: &'static str = include_str!("point.json");
