virtual bool Serialize( const Dynamic * object ) = 0
The object is serialized using its <Category> (see <Category.SerializeDynamic>), or, if the object has been <Reference>d, then the serializer should emit a backreference instead.
Shallow serialization could emit the pointer value (as an integer) for immediate deserialization.
virtual bool Reference( const Dynamic * object ) = 0
Adds the object to the list of objects known to this serializer.
Reference should be called in the Class.SerializePointer method for classes that construct new, unshared, objects when deserializing (as opposed to flyweights like Type pointers).
