+** Missing features
+
+       Our class libraries miss some features, for example, most classes
+       do not implement the serialization bits at all, it would be a good
+       contribution to add this to each class.
+
+       This is a simple task, but it needs to be done in a compatible way
+       with the Microsoft.NET classes: using the same arguments to serialize
+       and reincarnate data.
