/// The built-in marshalling only supports a limited range of objects.
/// The exact types supported depend on the version argument.
/// The [`VERSION`] constant holds the highest version currently supported.

/// See the [Python documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/marshal.html) for more details.

/// # Example:
/// ```
/// # use pyo3::{marshal, types::PyDict};
/// # let gil = pyo3::Python::acquire_gil();
/// # let py = gil.python();
/// #
/// let dict = PyDict::new(py);
/// dict.set_item("aap", "noot").unwrap();
/// dict.set_item("mies", "wim").unwrap();
/// dict.set_item("zus", "jet").unwrap();
///
/// let bytes = marshal::dumps(py, dict, marshal::VERSION);
