/**
 * A Serializer represents a bimap between an object and an array of bytes representing that object.
 *
 * Serializers are loaded using reflection during [[akka.actor.ActorSystem]]
 * start-up, where two constructors are tried in order:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>taking exactly one argument of type [[akka.actor.ExtendedActorSystem]];
 * this should be the preferred one because all reflective loading of classes
 * during deserialization should use ExtendedActorSystem.dynamicAccess (see
 * [[akka.actor.DynamicAccess]]), and</li>
 * <li>without arguments, which is only an option if the serializer does not
 * load classes using reflection.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <b>Be sure to always use the PropertyManager for loading classes!</b> This is necessary to
 * avoid strange match errors and inequalities which arise from different class loaders loading
 * the same class.
