When you declare an extern type, you use the @Extern attribute to
declare the actual type and a serializer for that type. There are
examples of this in the source code. It isn't hard at all.

How do I manage to achieve passing arbitrary objects? In case of a

stored, any kind of objects should be able to be passed through to

I am by no means an expert, but I think you can create a custom type
that carries a byte array, and on each platform have a serializer that
understand your custom Etch type and how to go from byte[] to the
'stored' object in the hashtable. It could become problematic to make
such type platform independent, but I assume that this is not of your
concern.
