Description

wget https://github.com/uwdata/mosaic/raw/refs/heads/main/docs/public/schema/v0.15.0.json
cargo typify v0.15.0.json

currently fails with

Message:  not yet implemented: invalid (or unexpected) schema:
{
  "type": [
    "string",
    "boolean",
    "null"
  ],
  "enum": [
    "auto",
    "up",
    "right",
    "down",
    "left",
    "none",
    true,
    false,
    null
  ]
}

i think these vgspec, defining a grammar of graphics, could serve as useful example of a real-life scenario!

Research direction

Start by downloading v0.15.0.json from the Mosaic repository and reproducing the failure with cargo typify. Trace handling of the reported string/boolean/null enum schema; done means the schema converts successfully into usable Rust types without the not-yet-implemented error.
