+Summary: [System.Collections.Generic.Comparer<T>] Comparer<T> isn't really Serializable
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+Comparer<T> is Serializable, and Comparer<T>.Default should also be Serializable. However, 
+Comparer<T>.Default is of type IComparableofTComparer<T>, which is not marked as 
+Serializable (even though it defines no additional fields...). This causes exceptions when trying to 
+Serialize an object that includes Comparer<T>.Default, which is...well...bad.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Get Comparer<T>.Default
+2. Try to Serialize it
+3. pain
+
+Actual Results:
+Exceptions are thrown
+
+Expected Results:
+Exceptions should not be thrown
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
