What is the proper way of using serialization with `expect class`?
I have the following class in the common module:
```expect class PlatformFileLocation```
and this in the Android module:
```@Serializable
data class AndroidFileLocation(
    @Serializable(with = PathSerializer::class)
    val filePath: Path,
    val fileProviderAuthority: String
)

actual typealias PlatformFileLocation = AndroidFileLocation```
If I mark the `PlatformFileLocation` as `@Serializable` I get an error. But without this I can’t get serializer in the common code. Is there any trick to make it work?

I tried to add
```expect class PlatformFileLocation {
    fun serializer(): KSerializer&lt;PlatformFileLocation&gt;
}```
but in this case I get the following error in the android module:
```Actual class 'AndroidFileLocation' has no corresponding members for expected class members: 
public final expect fun serializer(): KSerializer&lt;PlatformFileLocation&gt; defined in com.tagbeam.core.platform_specific.PlatformFileLocation```
