that touches on <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/11206>

and yes: would love to do something like that

if it were to operate only on `FieldSets` / `Targets` it would answer how to make serialization work in general.

Great. Yeah 11206 seems to be pretty close to what I was biking for :) 

i think that 11206 might be a bit grandiose though… it’s possible that you’re right that peek could do some of this, at least in terms of expanding sources fields. but… it can only do so much

Aim for the stars, and all that :slightly_smiling_face:
