fromJSON

[scarf005]

while there's toJSON to represent rimbu data in JSON format, there isn't matching fromJSON to reverse it.

having deserialization built-in will help sending and caching rimbu data.

I completely agree. Some time ago I started this branch which is probably beyond repair now. The main issue for serialization is how to deal with the concept of Context. If I create a custom context, for example, for a HashMap with my own hashing and equality functions, how can we know this when deserializing data. Or can we just ignore that problem? I believe I started adding ids to context so that at least locally you could know which context the data belongs to, but since contexts can sometimes also include other contexts it quickly becomes quite complex. What are your thoughts?
