[antlr-interest] CSharp2: serialize/deserialize as AST

Yes, with a CommonTree wrapper or SurrogateSelector.

But, how do you handle the CommonTree.Parent member upon deserialization? 
Again, looking at the ANTLR code, it's a pointer, right?  Merely restoring a 
serialized value won't work for that.
