I didn't know I was working on a serialization engine.

Which is fine if done consistently. I think Phobos will need a small coherency treatment.

That's fine. I wasn't proposing replacing the OnCrowding enum you came with, which will be perfectly fine for simple cases, just that it'd be a good idea if the API could support more. This doesn't imply that the book has to explain the complete API.

About the shared delegate concept, I think this deserve more clarification...
