            // we could do that before handing the screen back to the ScreenManager. For example

            //
            // if (screenType == typeof(MySuperGameScreen))
            // {
            //     bool value = GetFirstParameter();
            //     float value2 = GetSecondParameter();
            //     MySuperGameScreen screen = new MySuperGameScreen(value, value2);
            //     return screen;
            // }
            //
            // This lets you still take advantage of constructor arguments yet participate in the
            // serialization process of the screen manager. Of course you need to save out those
            // values when deactivating and read them back, but that means either IsolatedStorage or
            // using the PhoneApplicationService.Current.State dictionary.
