-# ts-rs-config
-This crate contains the config for future ts-rs versions.  
-Currently, it's not really possible no use the config within the proc macro due to issues regarding incremental compilation.  
-A workaround would be to have `include_str!("ts.toml")` everywhere, but I don't think we should do that.  
-Instead, let's wait for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73921
