+Summary: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo:GetValue doesn't error out if given @type = null
+
+According to the MSDN docs, GetValue in SerializationInfo should throw an
+Arg Null exception if given a null @type argument. It doesn't do this.
+
+(I was trying this because I didn't realize that the deserializer would
+automatically create an instance of the appropriate subclass if you were
+trying to deserialize something not of the exact type you gave it. If you
+care.)
