/// Deserializer function that always produces `Some(T)` if a value is present.
///
/// It is useful when one wants to distinguish between a field that's absent
/// and a field that's present with a `null` value. For example, the annotation
/// below may be used for a field that may be absent, but may not be `null`.
///
/// ```
/// # #[derive(serde::Deserialize, serde::Serialize)]
/// # struct Foo {
///     #[serde(
///         default,
///         deserialize_with = "::json_serde::deserialize_some",
///         skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none",
///     )]
///     field: Option<String>,
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// It can also be used with a "double-Option" to determine whether a field
/// was absent, `null`, or had a value:
/// ```
/// # #[derive(serde::Deserialize, serde::Serialize)]
/// # struct Foo {
///     #[serde(
///         default,
///         deserialize_with = "::json_serde::deserialize_some",
///         skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none",
///     )]
///     field: Option<Option<String>>,
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// In the first case, a `null` value results in an error because a `String`
/// cannot be deserialized from `null`. In the second case, a `null` value
/// results in `field` having a value of `Some(None)` since `Option<String>`
