Adds a C-level fast path for serializing and deserializing Ruby Struct types, bypassing Ruby proc callbacks entirely. Usage: factory.register_type(0x01, MyStruct, optimized_struct: true) Benefits: - Directly accesses struct fields via RSTRUCT_GET in C - No Ruby method calls for field access - No proc allocation or invocation overhead - Supports both regular and keyword_init structs The wire format is identical to the recursive proc-based approach, ensuring compatibility with existing serialized data. This provides significant performance improvements for applications that serialize many Struct objects.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Suggested change
| payloads = coders.map { |coder| coder.factory.dump(data) } | |
| payloads = coders.map { |coder| coder.factory.dump(data).freeze } |
FYI: If the payload is frozen, it saves a bunch of work for msgpack. The diff isn't massive, but on you simple benchmark it gives another ~0.10x over marshal.

This is a prototype, please don't actually merge this as I cannot write C code and this is all Claude-generated.
