//! path_serializer is used in cases where we need to serialize relative Path
//! and PathBuf objects in a way that's cross-platform.
//!
//! This is used for the snapshot testing system to make sure that snapshots
//! that reference local paths that are generated on Windows don't fail when run
//! in systems that use a different directory separator.
//!
//! To use, annotate your PathBuf or Option<PathBuf> field with the correct
//! serializer function:
//!
//! ```
//! # use std::path::PathBuf;
//! # use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
//!
//! #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
//! struct Mine {
//!     name: String,
//!
//!     // Use 'crate' instead of librojo if writing code inside Rojo
//!     #[serde(serialize_with = "librojo::path_serializer::serialize")]
//!     source_path: PathBuf,
//!
//!     #[serde(serialize_with = "librojo::path_serializer::serialize_option")]
//!     maybe_path: Option<PathBuf>,
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! **The methods in this module can only handle relative paths, since absolute
//! paths are never portable.**
