Overview

A type that can be instantiated by the DataSerializer (or anyone else) when an unknown Ruby type is encountered in serialized data. It functions like an OpenStruct, but it has a distinct type identity so the DataSerializer can work with it.

UnknownType remembers the original Ruby type name of the serialized object so it can be dumped back to a serialization stream without losing type identity or attribute information.
