In cases where a Dictionary property had a non-object value type, the
dictionary couldn't be treated like an object. This code will wrap a
dictionary so its non-object values are upcast to objects.
I added code that will (correctly) chose the most derived property/field
when a conflict exists between the parent and child.
According to Microsoft, there is no guarantee of the order that members
will be returned, so I had to determine the members distance from the
object's type down the inheritance hierarchy and pick the closest.
This is the first step towards supporting custom tags. There are
wrinkles I need to work out, since I'm not 100% sure what the finished
code will look like.
This is the code almost verbatim from the NList project. This project is
due for a major overhaul, but I don't know the order I will be breaking
out NList in the upcoming weeks.
