    ///     A context stack is an object that can be used by serializers 
    ///     to push various context objects.  Serialization is often
    ///     a deeply nested operation, involving many different 
    ///     serialization classes.  These classes often need additional 
    ///     context information when performing serialization.  As
    ///     an example, an object with a property named "Enabled" may have 
    ///     a data type of System.Boolean.  If a serializer is writing
    ///     this value to a data stream it may want to know what property
    ///     it is writing.  It won't have this information, however, because
    ///     it is only instructed to write the boolean value.  In this 
    ///     case the parent serializer may push a PropertyDescriptor
    ///     pointing to the "Enabled" property on the context stack. 
    ///     What objects get pushed on this stack are up to the 
    ///     individual serializer objects.
