StringList
was using an untagged enum to deserialize a string or list. Unfortunately, serde does not handle untagged enums very well. The error messages are not very good, and it doesn't interact with untyped deserializers (like our environment variables). This switches it to a newtype struct, and then has hard-coded support for it in the deserializer. This fixes some deserialization errors (like treatingtrue
as a boolean) and provides better error messages.StringList
is currently used forbuild.rustflags
