      Codec<?> parameterize(CodecRegistry codecRegistry, List<Type> types)
      Recursively parameterize the codec with the given registry and generic type arguments.
      Parameters:
      codecRegistry - the code registry to use to resolve codecs for the generic type arguments
      types - the types that are parameterizing the containing type. The size of the list should be equal to the number of type parameters of the class whose codec is being parameterized, e.g. for a Collection the size of the list would be one since Collection has a single type parameter. Additionally, the size will never be 0 since there is no purpose in parameterizing a codec for a type that has no type parameters.
      Returns:
      the Codec parameterized with the given types
