For fields, used .tupleof, for other symbols, use a pointer.
Here's an example [1] of accessing a field using the name of
the field as a string. It will bypass private.
That module [1] contains some generic functionality for working
with fields which you would need for serialization. Or you can
use the whole serialization library directly [2] ;)

There's also the IZ serializer. It's based on accessors (called
property descriptor) to read and write private or protected
fields. Actually it's never a good idea to directly access them.
Usually they're not hidden for anything (e.g the count of items
in a list, the setter update the list...)
