What do you think we're currently missing that Python's `from_type` has? I actually think the auto-deriving stuff we currently have in Rust is as good or better than from_type (e.g. it gets you the builder methods, has support for enums), but I've never been a heavy from_type user.

Thank you! I have some particularly annoying proptest-based tests that I'll try porting over to Hegel soon. (Thanks for writing the Claude skill to do this.)

Please let us know how it goes!

As Liam says, the derive generator is not very well dogfooded at present. The claude skill is a bit better, but we've only been through a few iterations of using it and getting Claude to improve it, and porting from proptest is one of the less well tested areas (because we don't use proptest much ourselves).

I expect all of this works, but I'd like to know ways that it works less well than it could. Or, you know, to bask in the glow of praise of it working perfectly if that turns out to be an option.
