 * <p>Values may be unshareable because they are just not serializable, or because they contain data
 * that cannot safely be re-used as-is by another invocation.
 *
 * <p>Unshareable data should not be serialized, since it will never be re-used. Attempts to fetch
 * serialized data will check this value and only perform the fetch if the value is not {@link
