Kotlin/kotlinx.collections.immutable

Make collections serializable with kotlinx.serialization

The title explains the requested functionality quite clearly.

My use case is that I'm passing information between a Ktor server and a KotlinJS client. I have a shared data model in a multiplatform module and I send and receive data between server and client by serializing classes to JSON and sending it via HTTP calls. I'm using kotlinx.serialization for serialization and deserialization. The classes in the shared module are designed to be immutable and I thought the using immutable collections would just fit nicely until I discovered that they can't be serialized.

Right now I'm using regular Kotlin collections but modifications are more difficult.
