 /// A trait that describes a type that can serialize a stream of values into the underlying format.
+///
+/// # For `Serialize` Developers
+/// Non-aggrergate types like integers and strings can be serialized directly by calling the
+/// appropriate function. For Aggregate types there's an initial `serialize_T` method that yields
+/// a State object that you should not interact with. For each part of the aggregate there's a
+/// `serialize_T_elt` method that allows you to pass values or key/value pairs. The types of the
+/// values or the keys may change between calls, but the serialization format may not necessarily
+/// accept it. The `serialize_T_elt` method also takes a mutable reference to the state object.
+/// Make sure that you always use the same state object and only the state object that was returned
+/// by the `serialize_T` method. Finally, when your object is done, call the `serialize_T_end`
+/// method and pass the state object by value
+///
+/// # For Serialization Format Developers
+/// If your format has different situations where it accepts different types, create a
+/// `Serializer` for each situation. You can create the sub-`Serializer` in one of the aggregate
+/// `serialize_T` methods and return it as a state object. Remember to also set the corresponding
+/// associated type `TState`. In the `serialize_T_elt` methods you will be given a mutable
+/// reference to that state. You do not need to do any additional checks for the correctness of the
+/// state object, as it is expected that the user will not modify it. Due to the generic nature
+/// of the `Serialize` impls, modifying the object is impossible on stable Rust.
