Hide
The earlier experimental --rich_data format used the tags __pcore_type__ and __pcore_value__, these are now shortened to __ptype and __pvalue respectively. If you are using this experimental feature and have stored serializations you need to change them or write them again with the updated version.

Serialization of rich data in JSON/YAML is currently using the tags:

__pcore_type__

__pcore_value__

Those are longer than they need to be for making them unique/non-clashing with normal attributes.

We should shorten those to:

__ptype

__pvalue

When writing, but continue to support the longer tags when reading.
