After the recent conversations on devel-en it looks like MS.NET does not
support serialization of generic types using Soap formatter. Also Binary
formatter is fragile on assembly version numbering changes.

list[a'] is very often used (in Nemerle code). We need add support of
Soap/XmlSerialiser to it.
