This change brings back support for the unstable.Unmarshaler interface
for tables and array tables, addressing issue #873.
Key changes:
- Changed UnmarshalTOML signature from (*Node) to ([]byte) to provide
raw TOML bytes instead of AST nodes
- Added RawMessage type (similar to json.RawMessage) for capturing raw
TOML bytes for later processing
- Updated handleKeyValuesUnmarshaler to reconstruct key-value lines
from the parsed keys and raw value bytes
- Added support for slice types implementing Unmarshaler (e.g., RawMessage)
- Removed unused AST helper functions from unstable/ast.go
The bytes-based interface allows users to:
- Get raw TOML bytes for custom parsing
- Delay TOML decoding using RawMessage
- Implement custom unmarshaling logic for complex types
Tests added for:
- Table unmarshaler with various scenarios
- Array table unmarshaler
- Split tables (same parent defined in multiple places)
- RawMessage usage
- Nested tables and mixed regular fields
