The data is of course compatible. A `List<Foo>` is directly mappable to
.proto via for example:
message SomeOuterMessage {
repeated Foo items = 1;
}
In fact, for that reason, serializing a List<Foo> will produce **exactly**
the same data on the wire as serializing:
[ProtoContract]
public class Whatever {
[ProtoMember(1)]
public List<Foo> Items {get;set;}
}
which is (give or take) what you will get if you feed the above .proto into
"protogen" (protobuf-net's entirely optional code generator for handling
.proto definitions)
