// The "in" method returns an AnyRef instead of T in order to support anonymous de-serialization. There may be cases where
// you don't know the exact type of the object, but instead de-serialize it and use extractors. e.g.

val addr = new InternationalAddress("Market Street", "San Francisco", "956871", "USA")
it("should support anonymous deserialization and extraction") {
  val a = serializer.in(
  serializer.out(addr))

  // use extractors
  val c = 'city ? str
  val c(_city) = a
  _city should equal("San Francisco")

  val s = 'street ? str
  val s(_street) = a
  _street should equal("Market Street")

  val z = 'zip ? str
  val z(_zip) = a
  _zip should equal("956871")

  val n = 'country ? str
  val n(_cnt) = a
  _cnt should equal("USA")
