Support configuration of serialization thru mix-in #451

It would be very nice to be able to use annotation-based configuration without 
modifying the classes themselves. The only solution now is type converters, 
which are much less convenient.

I think being able to use a mix-in for (de)serializing a whole type hierarchy 
would be a great addition and a big time-saver when dealing with "foreign" 
classes.

Seems like a lot of framework complexity. You could accomplish the same with 
relative ease by writing a custom type adapter that delegates.

Of course you could write a whole custom type adapter, but that's way more code 
for the developer who uses the library.
