Built-in serialization of objects rather than byte arrays

I imagine most .NET consumers actually want to store objects, not byte arrays, in Beanstalk. We could expose PutAsync<T>
and ReserveAsync<T>
methods that serialize the objects:
string str = "hello";
await producer.PutAsync<string>(str, 1, 0, 1);
var result = await consumer.ReserveAsync<string>();
// result.Object == "hello"
Questions:
- What if we can't deserialize the object, if somebody put something weird in the tube? Do we bury the message? Return it as a
Job
but with a null.Object
property? Throw an exception?
