This sounds potentially reasonable. However, I am not sure if ppx_deriving
allows this. If it doesn't, then I would have to package my code
generator as
a ppx preprocessor, instead of a ppx_deriving plugin. Maybe that would be
easy; I am not sure exactly how much grunt work ppx_deriving is doing
for me.
