 serde does not support arrays with more than 32 elements or using const-generics.
 The `serde_as` attribute allows circumventing this restriction, even for nested types and nested arrays.
 
+On top of it, `[u8; N]` (aka, bytes) can use the specialized `"Bytes"` for efficiency much like the `serde_bytes` crate.
