/**
* A dummy superclass to support GWT serialization of the element type of an {@link
* ImmutableMultiset}. The GWT supersource for this class contains a field of type {@code E}.
*
* For details about this hack, see {@code GwtSerializationDependencies}, which takes the same
* approach but with a subclass rather than a superclass.
*
*
TODO(cpovirk): Consider applying this subclass approach to our other types.
*
*
For {@code ImmutableMultiset} in particular, I ran into a problem with the {@code
* GwtSerializationDependencies} approach: When autogenerating a serializer for the new class, GWT
* tries to refer to our dummy serializer for the superclass,
* ImmutableMultiset_CustomFieldSerializer. But that type has no methods (since it's never actually
* used). We could probably fix the problem by adding dummy methods to that class, but that is
* starting to sound harder than taking the superclass approach, which I've been coming to like,
* anyway, since it doesn't require us to declare dummy methods (though occasionally constructors)
* and make types non-final.
