Can SerialName annotation support alternate?

Can SerialName annotation support alternate?
Like Gson's SerializedName annotation.

I'm actually in need of this as well. One thing I don't really like about gson's is the API for it personally. I would propose, if possible, that this implementation just use a single parameter overloaded constructor like

@SerialName("Example")
@SerialName(listOf("Example", "example"))

// or if var args are acceptable
@SerialName("Example", "example")

This would be awesome!

@ToxicBakery I don't think the api you are suggesting will work well for stringifying, gson is using value and alternate so it can use the value's value for transforming to json from an object. Except you're suggesting they use the first value from the list, which will end up being confusing.

I don't see that as an issue. I'll settle for having support at all though regardless of the API 😄

Any updates?

Edited: they're working on it here #597

It will be likely supported in the upcoming releases, but in a JSON specific.
Please keep track of that issue here: #203
EDIT: in #597
