In particular, the following Serde attributes only have limited support:
 
-Furthermore, `#[serde(flatten)]` only has limited support and relies on a small hack [^serde-flatten-hack]. Specifically, flattened structs are only serialised as maps and deserialised from maps. However, this limited implementation supports full roundtripping.

-[^serde-flatten-hack]: Deserialising a flattened struct from a map requires that the struct's [`Visitor::expecting`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.Visitor.html#tymethod.expecting) implementation formats a string starting with `"struct "`. This is the case for automatically-derived [`Deserialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.Deserialize.html) impls on structs.
+While data structures with any of these attributes should roundtrip through RON, their textual representation may not always match your expectation. For instance, flattened structs are only serialised as maps and deserialised from maps.
+
+[^serde-enum-hack]: Deserialising an internally, adjacently, or un-tagged enum requires detecting `serde`'s internal `serde::__private::de::content::Content` content type so that RON can describe the deserialised data structure in serde's internal JSON-like format. This detection only works for the automatically-derived [`Deserialize`](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/de/trait.Deserialize.html) impls on enums. See [#451](https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/pull/451) for more details.
