Hi. I have an interface which has a name and a `value`:

sealed interface MyInterface<T : Any> {
    val name: String
    var value: T

}

There's a bunch of subclasses which implement this interface with different types:

class MyClass1(override var value: Boolean) : MyInterface<Boolean> {
    override val name: String = "Foo"
}
class MyClass2(override var value: String) : MyInterface<String> {
    override val name: String = "Bar"
}

I want to write a custom generic serializer which serializes these classes to/from a string of this format:

"$name=${/* String Serialized form of value */}"

I have a list of these in a parent class, like this:

class Parent {
    val myList: List<MyInterface<*>> = listOf()
}

Is it possible to serialize/deserialize Parent and ensure each member of the list is deserialized into the appropriate class instance? I'm not using JSON format. (I'm using KAML for YAML serialization)
