Implement map data type.
The map data type has a special proto syntax. The serialization of
map<key_type, value_type> map_field = N;
is backward compatible to
message MapFieldEntry {
key_type key = 1;
value_type value = 2;
}
repeated MapFieldEntry map_field = N;
The option [packed = true] is not allowed on map fields.
I still work on the serialization. My question is if the general design is welcomed or if there are better ideas.
I have been away from dlang for a while (basically since graduating college), but I took a look at your design and it seems like a good starting point. If you're still open to developing this, I can take a look once serialization is implemented.
