I have https://www.http4k.org/guide/howto/create_a_custom_json_marshaller/ this kinda working, but inside my data class (rather deep inside my data class), I have what is essentially a value class interface and I need to be able to tell my http4k client to use a specific implementation of the interface when deserializing.

(I'm also new to kotlin/java serialization, so I'm trying to learn both, and the docs feel like they sorta assume you know the serdes piece, it feels)
