@danielcweber thanks for your patience on this pull request. Sometimes the
seemingly simple tasks turn into larger more complex discussions unfortunately.
I'm not sure if you've been following along as I don't recall seeing your
name pop up in the previously referenced dev mailing list discussion where we
tried to hash this all out, but it appears that the consensus is to maintain
symmetry of serializers for .NET and to not allow one way serialization for the
more richly/strongly typed GLVs. Hopefully you still are available to make the
appropriate changes to help us get this merged.
