	 * Allows access to an underlying managed list, or a cached version of that list that can be serialized/deserialized.
	 *
	 * @note
	 * This class can be in two states:
	 *	 - Linked - When the object has a link to a managed object. This is the default state when a new instance
	 *				of ManagedSerializableList is created. Any operations during this state will operate directly
	 *				on the linked managed object. A GC handle will be kept to the linked managed object. The handle can
	 *				be freed by transfering to serialized mode or by destroying this object.
	 *	 - Serialized - When the object has no link to the managed object but instead just contains cached object
	 *					and field data that may be used for initializing a managed object. Any operations during
	 *					this state will operate only on the cached internal data.
	 *					
	 * You can transfer an object in linked state to serialized state by calling serialize(). If an object is in serialized
	 * state you can call deserialize() to populated a managed object from the cached data.
