API looks great but I'd like to see some simple

Before going this route one needs to have a good vision how it
may interact with imaginary std.serialization to avoid later
deprecation.
At the same time I have recently started to think that dedicated
serialization module that decouples aggregate iteration from data
storage format is in most cases impractical for performance
reasons - different serialization methods imply very different
efficient iteration strategies. Probably it is better to define
serialization compile-time traits instead and require each
`std.data.*` provider to implement those on its own in the most
effective fashion.
