possible to generate a serialization assembly in debug mode?

[PJ6]

The compiler only pays attention to the "generate serialization assembly"
option in release mode. I'd quite rather have this working in debug as
well... is that possible?

Never mind, found something better. Didn't think it would work, but it does,
and it's apparently tread-safe, too.
