No, since Serde will happyly fill a `u64` field with any other `u{8,16,32}` value, and even with signed types (as long as the actual value is non-negative) - this is sort of what happens when you deserialize a JSON `[1, 2, 3]` into `[u64]`.

Yes, but an equivalent to `impl<'de> Deserializer<'de> for ValueDeserializer` handles that. That could be a useful helper.
