Possible to serializer/deserialize and object like Ruby marshaling?

[Blacksmoke16]

@j8r

class Point
  getter x : Int32
  getter y : String

  def initialize(@x, @y)
  end
end

instance = Point.allocate

GC.add_finalizer(instance) if instance.responds_to?(:finalize)
pointerof(instance.@x).value = 1
pointerof(instance.@y).value = "abc"

p! instance

Sadly this assumes there is an initializer argument for each ivar. I don’t think there is a way around needing to add some custom initializer for the deserialization process :/.
