 Design goal: avoid importing modules where a custom serialization is needed;
 see strtabs.fromJsonHook,toJsonHook for an example.

-xxx
-use toJsonHook,fromJsonHook for Table|OrderedTable
-add Options support also using toJsonHook,fromJsonHook and remove `json=>options` dependency
-
 Future directions:
-add a way to customize serialization, for eg:
-* allowing missing or extra fields in JsonNode
+add a way to customize serialization, for e.g.:
 * field renaming
 * allow serializing `enum` and `char` as `string` instead of `int`
   (enum is more compact/efficient, and robust to enum renamings, but string
   is more human readable)
 * handle cyclic references, using a cache of already visited addresses
+* implement support for serialization and de-serialization of nested variant
+  objects.
