public interface ISerialiser<T>
Deprecated.
Superseded by EDP2.
Interface used by the BackgroundMemoryList to serialise the elements of the list into bytestreams
and vice versa. The elements serialised form has to have a constant memory footprint. Otherwise
using the BackgroundMemoryList will not work as it relies on the constant sizes to seek in the
background storage and calculate the number of elements.
