If you aren't tied to the semantics of `define/contract` in particular,
you can use `contract-out` instead.

Something like:
  (define-serializable-class* foo% object% ()
    ... stuff ...)
  (provide (contract-out [foo% (class/c ...)]))

If you want local contract checking as with `define/contract`, you can
still use `with-contract` to do what you want.

Something like:
  (with-contract 'my-contract-region ([foo% (class/c ...)])
    (define-serializable-class* foo% object% ()
      ... stuff ...))
