Description

When solely doing deserializing, these create a lot of extra noise and pain if the types need to be edited manually later.

Research direction

Start by locating the enum code-generation entry point and the logic that emits Display, FromStr, and TryFrom implementations. Add a configurable way to omit those implementations for deserialization-only use, then verify generated enums no longer contain them when the option is enabled while retaining them by default.
