Thanks, this is great! I think using Unsafe.allocateInstance is kind of horrifying, and it certainly shouldn't be the default behaviour. Unfortunately, it is, and changing that would probably break too many things. Making it at least possible to avoid Unsafe is probably the best we can do.

Could you start a new paragraph on the next line rather than <br>? Or just leave out <br>.

While you are here, could you reduce the scope of this?
@Override public T construct() {
...
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
T newInstance = (T) unsafeAllocator.newInstance(rawType);
return newInstance;
...

Very nitpicky comment here, but these continuation lines should be indented +4 according to Google Java style.

No worries, such comments are fine
Resolves #445
Resolves partially #1387
Resolves partially #1695; should still be kept open because usage of
Unsafeshould be better documentedNo test is added to verify that by default
Unsafeis used because it appears 38 tests already depend on this behavior and would fail that was not the case.Note that for Android this actually disables more than just
sun.misc.Unsafeusage, because there Gson also tries internalObjectStreamClassandObjectInputStreammethods, but I don't think this is worth mentioning.
