The target usage is to stuff data structures into file or network streams. 
Eventually, I'd like to build a web services lib from this that can serve 
proxy an interface with very little code:

/////common:

interface I { ... }
interface J { ... }

/////Server side

class CI : I { ... }
class CJ : J { ... }

auto server = new Server();

server.Serve!(I)(new CI(), 8080); //proxy that object on port 8080
server.Serve!(J)({return new CJ;}, 8081); // create a objects to proxy on 
port 8081

server.start();

//// client side

I i = new Proxy!(I)("somehost.net", 8080);
J j = new Proxy!(J)("somehost.net", 8081);
