That on its own would need an RFC AFAIK and I'm not really a fan of this
hypothetical change.
Also it feels kind of backwards imho. Why should I specify that something
is NOT serializable
when serialisation is a behaviour that usually needs special care with?
Also what would happen when someone does the typical thing to prevent
serialization:
public function __sleep() { throw new Exception(); }
