Add configuration options for serialization

**Feature request**
It would be great to have logging for types.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_logging` with default `false`.

Start by locating the configuration handling and serialization or type-logging code; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Confirm how configuration defaults are defined, then verify that enable_logging defaults to false and controls the requested type logging in production deployments.
