/**
 * Interface used to indicate serializers that want to do post-processing
 * after construction and being added to {@link SerializerProvider},
 * but before being used. This is typically used to resolve references
 * to other contained types; for example, bean serializers use this
 * to eagerly find serializers for contained field types.
 *
 * Note that in cases where serializer needs both contextualization and
 * resolution -- that is, implements both this interface and {@link ContextualSerializer}
 * -- resolution via this interface occurs first, and contextual
 * resolution (using {@link ContextualSerializer}) later on.
