The current `rmpv::ext::to_value` implementation turns Structs into `Value::Array<Value::String>` which is not deserializable by other languages. Technically I would call this a bug and opt to change the existing `to_value` implementation, but to stay cautious of not breaking existing users' code I think it makes sense to introduce a new `to_value_named` fn which instead turns Structs into `Value::Map` and maintains their keys.
