In turns out that I probably don't need this change. I tried to wrap your Serializer in my own custom serializer and changed just a few serialize_*() functions. I had hoped I could re-use the serialize implementations for sequences, maps, tuples and structs. But as they call into their serializer (via self.ser), they won't call into my own serializer. This means that I would need to implement those myself and also need code to call them. There won't be much left to wrap, so I think it's easier to just copy and paste the current serializer, adapt it to my needs and disable the serde1 feature, so that I only rely on core.

If you still want this change, I'll rename the function to get_mut(), if not, feel free to close this PR.

PS: Thanks for always responding that fast!

If no one needs it, I tend to keep it private. Thank you.
