[Mono-list] Not implemented exceptions in Getters

[Dave Curylo]

Hello, there.  I don't know enough about what you're trying to do to be
able to propose a viable option, just trying to help you out, and if you
can't set the properties on deserialization, it seems worthless to
serialize them.  Anyway, you're clearly not serializing a hashtable of
string:string.  Doing so requires no custom serialization and as you
pointed out, your stack trace shows the exception serializing FieldInfo.
 But if you're writing something that is so tightly coupled to .NET that
you're serializing reflection types, then why bother with JSON
serialization?
