-        * All native classes report real C++ collection type when using collection objects
-        * Only `TypedValueSerializerProvider<T>` instances support serialization (e.g. `Color`)
+    * Enum, `(Item1 | Item2 | Item3)::Enum`, giving a type is not always necessary.
+    * Struct, `{fontFamily:'Segoe UI', size:10}::FontProperties`, giving a type is not always necessary.
+    * async, delay, yield (provider written in C++). **low priority**
+    * Limited serialization
+        * Disable serialization for struct and enum.
+        * Only `TypedValueSerializerProvider<T>` instances support serialization (e.g. `Color`), or provide a global type conversion interface and registration for type. Only the type author of T can provide all convensions from T to U.
