-----------------------------------------

Hi [~dleangen], this is quite a substantial amount of functionality! :)

What I think might be a good idea is to isolate it out into its own module. 
Alongside converter and serializer, maybe something called 
'org.apache.felix.schematizer'. I think for the API we should probably use API 
in the org.apache.felix namespace for the moment. Then we can maybe add a 
withContext(Object obj) to the Serializer interface (or maybe to the 
Serializing/Deserializing ones). This could be a generic mechanism to provide 
implementation-specific context to the serializer, which could be the Schema in 
this case.

Reason for such an approach is that the converter is currently super-light. It 
would be nice to keep it light IMHO. Having it as a separate module means that 
only those who need this advanced feature get the complexity.

WDYT?

> Test case and a bit of code to show how a Serializer could work.
> To work as a Serializer, the type information needs to be embedded into the
