'''
Okay, this is for historical record, for others. I nearly cried trying
to figure out how to get anything to serialize
from a selection or even an item by ref i had (thought) i was directly pointing to...

long story short, inheretance is not straightforward as it seems it ought to be.

the only thing you can trust is the __dict__ of the selection or item in question,
however, this is just part of the stuff it really has...

I have not found a clear way to tell what is going to get inheretence as expected.

But here is how to begin. I tried all of these bananas and finally found a way to actually get-> then do( stuff ) with a selection.

Hope it saves somebody some trouble.
