Hi David, congratulations on the release! I'm excited to play around with Hypothesis's bitstream-based shrinking. As you're aware, prop_flat_map is a pain to deal with, and I'd love to replace some of my proptest-based tests with Hegel.
I spent a little time looking at Hegel last week and it wasn't quite clear to me how I'd go about having something like a canonical generator for a type (similar to proptest's Arbitrary). I've found that to be very helpful while generating large structures to test something like serialization roundtripping against — in particular, the test-strategy library has derive macros that work very well for business logic types with, say, 10-15 enum variants each of which may have 0-10 subfields. I'm curious if that is supported today, or if you have plans to support this kind of composition in the future.
edit: oh I completely missed the macro to derive DefaultGenerator! Whoops
