 Review comment:
   I'm not sure if it'll matter at all, but maybe we should avoid sharing the 
created `elementSerializer` between the `unused` traversable serializer and the 
actual returned one.
   
   Moreover, it _might_ (again, not 100% sure just a wild guess) have some 
unknown / undiscovered implications with the generated anonymous classname.
