Type for serializable objects?
Would it make sense to create a type for serializable objects?
Similar to Jsonify et al., this would match values that could losslessly be deep-copied via structuredClone or postMessage.

How would you use it?
For reference, the algorithm for structuredClone: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm
My two use cases are similar to how I currently use the Jsonify family of types:
- To ensure that an application state object as passed between a web worker and the main thread remains serializable
- To more strongly type the outputs of a structuredClone call
It's more like Jsonifiable. Could maybe be called StructuredCloneable.
