Sorry Yanni, I didn't follow. Could you please explain a bit more? what do
you want to serialize? do you want to be able to choose some classes as
light and some as non-light? where do you want to materialize ? in the same
image or in another one ?   When you said discard....what would you do with
the instances of those non-light classes for example? you don't materialize
them? and what happens to the objects that were pointing to them ?  why
would be the scenario useful for ? security ?

Thanks
