List and Map are interfaces. Without a concrete class identified, how would the program decide which implementation of a list or map should be used? I know this can be handled with custom deserialization/ serialization but I thought I saw somewhere that there would be a way to do it by declaring it via binding syntax? I can't seem to put my finger on it at the moment ...
