- * This class exists solely to provide a serializable description of a value to be serialized as a field in
- * {@link AssumptionViolatedException}. Being a {@link Throwable}, it is required to be {@link Serializable}, but a
- * value of type Object provides no guarantee to be serializable. This class works around that limitation as
- * {@link AssumptionViolatedException} only every uses the string representation of the value, while still retaining
- * backwards compatibility with classes compiled against its class signature before 4.14 and/or deserialization of
- * previously serialized instances.
