Allow custom opt-in annotation for factory about auto-value-gson HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm having a hard time understanding this. The idea is that user's who don't use AutoValue can opt into the having their Gson TypeAdapter's automatically picked up by the AutoValue: Gson generated type factory? That seems out of scope, and something that should be provided by another library, if not Gson itself. Is there something I'm missing?

Yeah that’s the idea, with the motivation being that the factory could support this since it’s a separate artifact now. The example case I ran into for this internally was one where we had a project for all of our models and most of them use the extension but one requires it’s own custom adapter. It’s nice not to have to manually wire that custom adapter separately from the rest of the models already being wired up by the factory
