This fixes a TODO to allow arbitrary encoding/decoding schemes for
different datasets. To do so, I switched from pickle to dill, which
extends pickle to enable things like pickling functions, including
their referenced globals. dill is already a dependency of datasets,
so this doesn't add any new dependencies.
This PR also includes some gitignore additions that I found
necessary for my usage. I can alter the entries, remove it from this
PR, or break it into a separate PR, as you prefer. Probably the most
controversial addition would be
data/*/samples/*
, since that's nota format that is currently referenced in this codebase. I was using
directories like that to save sample prompts for datasets. Happy to
drop it if its inclusion is not desired.
