My gopher friend actually makes fun of us because we don't have
json.Unmarshal(): https://blog.golang.org/json

It's him making fun of us/me that gave me the idea to integrate
Boost.Serialization and Boost.Hana's Struct.

```go
type Bid struct {
 Price     string
 Size      string
 NumOrders int
}
type OrderBook struct  {
 Sequence int64 `json:"sequence"`
 Bids     []Bid `json:"bids"`
 Asks     []Bid `json:"asks"`
}

...
var book OrderBook
json.Unmarshal(buffer, &book)
```

But that's a subject that I'll want to discuss with Robert Ramey after
Boost.JSON's review.

In my job, we have our own in-house serialization framework. I guess
that's what many others do as well in C++, but the requirements on the
JSON library to be usable in serialization frameworks would be quite
similar. Compare Boost.Serialization and QDataStream from Qt.
