Description
## Expected Behavior
Structs should implement something along the lines of serde's `#[serde(flatten)]` in order to allow nested structs (for usage with extract path segment structs). Example:
```rust
#[route("/{username}/{repository}/tree/{tree}/blob/{blob:.*}", method = "GET")]
pub(crate) async fn view_blob(uri: web::Path) -> Result {}
#[derive(Deserialize)]
pub(crate) struct GitRequest {
pub(crate) username: String,
pub(crate) repository: String
}
#[derive(Deserialize)]
pub(crate) struct BlobRequest {
#[serde(flatten)]
pub(crate) repo: GitRequest,
pub(crate) tree: String,
pub(crate) blob: String
}
```
## Current Behavior
Currently this fails with `unsupported type: any`
## Context
This would help me reduce repeated code such as it is currently [present in GitArena](https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena/blob/main/src/routes/repository/mod.rs#L23-L34).
