Description
They are already being saved to cache and have serializer/deserialize methods.
It could also be generalized by creating smth like Serializable interface
class Serializable:
serialize
@classmethod
deserialize
and require all cache serializable objects to implement it to be able to be saved to cache.

Research direction
Start by tracing TypeInfo.metadata and the existing cache serialization path described in the issue. Review how Type objects already use serializer/deserialize, then determine how metadata persistence should support them and whether a shared Serializable interface is needed. Done means Type objects can be saved to and restored from TypeInfo.metadata without breaking existing cache behavior.
