Publish on crates.io

This doesn't seem to be available on crates.io yet -- is that intentional? It'd be awesome to publish this as, say, usdt, so that people could start using it in their applications :)

I wish I could but there is no way to get it anywhere near the quality and usability I'd like to have without close integration with the compiler, so that's the path I'll take.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Does this crate not work in its current state if you do this?

[dependencies]
rust-usdt = { git = "https://github.com/Fiedzia/rust-usdt" }

as instructed by the README? If it does, it seems pretty reasonable to me to put on crates.io? It's fien to have nightly-only crates on there :)

Or are you saying that you've found that the approach this crate currently takes isn't the way to go long-term, and that you essentially want to deprecate it in favor of some other approach? If the latter, do you have a link to where the work may be continued?

[Fiedzia]

It requires features from unstable rust, so no. Even if that would work, to get quality and usability I want would require close integration with compiler internals to get type safety and proper handling of different data types. My plan is to wrap it up, create usable demo and create RFC for Rust compiler.
