That might be handy.

In order to support Xcode project file (.pbx) structures I had to create a
stand-alone (de)serializers from scratch.
It's RTTI dependent, but is not based of TComponent.
It would also not fail, if encounters unrecognized property, instead would
keep it for the later serialization ( .pbx is undocumented and could change
without notice )
