ImplicitReflectionSerializer

This annotation marks declaration which try to obtain serializer implicitly using reflection, e.g. from KClass or instance itself.

This approach is discouraged in general because it has several drawbacks, including:

• Reflection is not available on Kotlin/Native and is very limited on Kotlin/JS.
• Reflection won't infer correct serializers for generic classes, like collections.
• SerialModule may not be available, since it is bound to particular format, not serializer.
• Such reflection calls are usually slow.

It's always better to specify serializer explicitly, using generated .serializer() function on serializable class' companion.
