Note also that serialization is not in general required to return an object that is
* {@linkplain Object#equals equal} to the original, nor is it required to return even an object
* of the same class. For example, if sublists of {@code MyList} instances were serializable,
* those sublists might implement a private {@code MySubList} type but serialize as a plain {@code
* MyList} to save space. So long as {@code MyList} has all the public supertypes of {@code
* MySubList}, this is safe. For these cases, for which {@code reserializeAndAssert} is too
* strict, use {@link #reserialize}.
*
* @return the re-serialized object
* @throws RuntimeException if the specified object was not successfully serialized or

* @throws AssertionFailedError if the re-serialized object is not equal to the original object,
