/**
 * An arbitrary serializable complex object.
 *
 * Unfortunately recursive structures (like JSON) must be represented in TypeScript using a recursive type rather than
 * multiple cyclic types. I.e. if recursion exists in the type definition, it must only be the type referring onto
 * itself, rather than type X referring to another type Z, where type Z refers back to type X. If you implement the
 * latter, you will receive the following compiler error when using the various 'Deep*' helper types with any type that
 * references your cyclic type:
 *
 * "TS2589: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite."
 *
 * Limitation: nested arrays are supported, but we need to statically define to what depth here. Below we're only
 * supporting 1-ary arrays, but you can add more levels if/when needed.
