Like the title says, this PR allows Trieste's well-formedness definitions to be serialized to Trieste ASTs (which have a plain-text conversion) and back.
The utility of this feature is in cases like:
In its current state, the code can serialize its own well-formedness definition and then re-read it. It's challenging to fuzz the code as-is because it's not in the format of a reader/writer: reader/writers can't work with
Wellformedness
as inputs or outputs.While I believe the code to be usable in its current state (in that you can use it with Trieste's native AST serializers and it will crash on bad inputs), I aspire to wrap this code with a reader/writer that have proper error handling.
