KDL 1.0 Compliance

[zkat]

Hi! Since this was originally written, KDL has stabilized to 1.0.0. No further changes should be made to spec so it should be safe to update + finalize kdl-php to the 1.0 spec!

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can do to help!

Hey @zkat ! Thanks for this - I've already started taking a look at the recent additions to the spec to plan out what I need to change - also looked against other implementations for test cases.

One big recent change was the addition of types as a hint for values - I was debating how I should implement this and to what extent I should cast values according to the types (i.e. the Rust-based types like u8 and so on - and also some custom PHP ones float and int). I plan of course to expose the type hint verbatim if it exists, and perhaps to offer an accessor to a coerced value on the Value objects I'm likely to introduce - any opinions about how much an implementation should ideally do here?

Honestly if I were you I would just include the type hints in your deserialized types and just leave it at that for now? You can also just use them to hint about whether to convert to float or int, imo, and that's all

Makes perfect sense! OK, that's how I'll handle it for now.
