+* `ActiveJob::Base.deserialize` delegates to the job class
+
+  Since `ActiveJob::Base#deserialize` can be overriden by subclasses (like `ActiveJob::Base#serialize`)
+  this allows jobs to attach arbitrary metadata when they get serialized and read it back when they get
+  performed. E.g.
+
+      class DeliverWebhookJob < ActiveJob::Base
+        def serialize
+          super.merge('attempt_number' => (@attempt_number || 0) + 1)
+        end
+
+        def deserialize(job_data)
+          super(job_data)
+          @attempt_number = job_data['attempt_number']
+        end
+
+        rescue_from(TimeoutError) do |ex|
+          raise ex if @attempt_number > 5
+          retry_job(wait: 10)
+        end
+      end
