Records that are marked Serializable get special treatment in
serialization. They also are excellent candidates for use as serial
proxies. Deconstructible classes with canonical constructors would
also be good candidates for use as serial proxes. I am doubtful we
want to grant the special serialization treatment of records to
deconstructible classes; I don't see a principled basis for doing
so, since deconstructibility is about taking things apart, not
representation. <br>

I think we are better off leaving the legacy serialization mechanism
alone, and directing such questions to Marshalling. <br>
