since I shared plenty of reflection extension method....

doNotCollect = PropertyPath.Watch(aValue, x => x.A.B.C.D, newD => { /* do something */ });

public interface ISurrogate<T> {
  void Initialize(T value); // called when serializing
  T Instance(); // called when deserializing
}

- thinking of WPF.. I just realized that some readonly property (such as Children UI component) while being readonly, can still be serialized as an IList, should be fixed by publication time!

public List<T> Children { get; } = new List<T>();
public Configuration Configuration { get { return existingConfig; } }
