📝 Description

Originally commented here.

For simplifying the Application Programming Interface (API) of the types-kotlinx-serialization Gradle subproject, we want to introduce the different serializers for the Zero type as extension functions on the Zero.Companion type.

fun Zero.Companion.byteSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.shortSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.intSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.longSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.floatSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.doubleSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()
fun Zero.Companion.stringSerializer(): KSerializer<Zero> = TODO()

The Kotlin Serialization library being dedicated to Kotlin, these functions must be marked with the JvmSynthetic annotation for hiding it from Java.

Finally, we want to deprecate the ZeroAsByteSerializer experimental type with an error level for using the Zero.Companion.byteSerializer() function instead.
