Is there a way to get a contextual serializer for an already serializable type using serializer<@Contextual MyType>? For now it seems to work only if MyType is not serializable.

I think you might be able to use ContextualSerializer (or whatever the exact name is) directly

As far as I understand, ContextualSerializer requires kClasses for its constructor and doesn't handle nullable types on its own, so using it along with complex generic types is a bit of a nuisance compared to the logic of serializer<T>() . For now I do use ContextualSerializer, but I wonder whether the aforementioned behavior is a bug or not.
