Is it possible to read parameterized/polymorphic case classes ?

I’m sorry for flooding upicke with issues 😃 But I got utterly stuck on reading :

case class What[E](a: TypeThatHasAReaderAvailable[E])

read[What[Ever]](xyz)

The problem is here : https://github.com/lihaoyi/upickle/blob/ccd23c491ebec51a091ffc49b709d067fa1c1df8/shared/main/scala/upickle/Macros.scala#L121

[info] exception during macro expansion: 
[info] scala.ScalaReflectionException: value apply encapsulates multiple overloaded alternatives and cannot be treated as a method. Consider invoking `<offending symbol>.asTerm.alternatives` and manually picking the required method
[info]  at scala.reflect.api.Symbols$SymbolApi$class.asMethod(Symbols.scala:228)
[info]  at scala.reflect.internal.Symbols$SymbolContextApiImpl.asMethod(Symbols.scala:82)
[info]  at upickle.Macros$.picklerFor(Macros.scala:121)
[info]  at upickle.Macros$.macroRImpl(Macros.scala:32)
[info]       val res = read[ResponseMessage[Vertex]](x.data.toString)
[info]   

I tried even invoke the macro supplying the type parameters directly to it, but it failed the same way :

    import scala.language.experimental.macros
    def macroR[T]: Reader[T] = macro Macros.macroRImpl[T]
    val a = macroR[What[Ever]]

Would you please give me a hint here?

@lihaoyi I think that should be mentioned in the documentation.

@lihaoyi you were right, I must have made a mistake somewhere else.

def poly[T: Reader](whatever: String): T = read[T](whatever)

is really valid.
