// Serialize is a custom serializer for ActivityStreams types.
//
// In most cases, it will simply call the go-fed streams.Serialize function under the hood.
// However, if custom serialization is required on a specific type (eg for inter-implementation
// compatibility), it can be inserted into the switch as necessary.
//
// Callers should always call this function instead of streams.Serialize, unless there's a
// very good reason to do otherwise.
//
// Currently, the following things will be custom serialized:
//
//   - OrderedCollection:       'orderedItems' property will always be made into an array.
//   - OrderedCollectionPage:   'orderedItems' property will always be made into an array.
//   - Any Accountable type:    'attachment' property will always be made into an array.
//   - Any Statusable type:     'attachment' property will always be made into an array; 'content' and 'contentMap' will be normalized.
//   - Any Activityable type:   any 'object's set on an activity will be custom serialized as above.
