Bidirectional serialization based on Lysxia's post on [Monadic profunctors for bidirectional programming](https://blog.poisson.chat/posts/2017-01-01-monadic-profunctors.html).
Let's assume we have a parser like the following
``` haskell
int :: Parser (ReaderT String Maybe) (Writer [Int]) Int Int
int = parser (ReaderT readMaybe) (\x -> x <$ tell [show x])
```
Then you can use the parser for parsing:
```
> runReaderT (decode int) "3"
Just 3
```
Or for encoding:
```
> execWriter (encode int 3)
["3"]
```
Or combine both of them
```
> runReaderT (decode int) $ head $ execWriter $ encode int 3
Just 3
```
