> Today, registering coders for auxiliary data types for a library transform is not very convenient. It the appears in an output/covariant position then it might be possible to use {{getDefaultOutputCoder}} to solve things. But for writes/contravariant positions this is not applicable and the library transform must contort itself to avoid requiring the user to come up with a coder for a type they don't own.
> Probably the best case today is an explicit call to {{LibraryTransform.registerCoders(Pipeline)}} which is far too manual.
> This could likely be solved quite easily with {{@AutoService}} and a static global coder registry, as we do with pipeline runners.
