Actually protobuf-net will handle IDictionary<TKey,TValue> *fine* as long as
both TKey and TValue make sense to protobuf-net, and it treats them (exactly
like in your example) as fields 1 and 2 respectively. I suspect you could
also use anything implementing IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>> under
the same conditions. In v2 I add support for non-generic collections, so you
could probably handle things like StringDictionary right off the bat
(although I'll be honest - I haven't specifically tested with
StringDictionary)
