/**
 * A deserializer constructs a value from the xml passed over the wire and
 * sets a target.  The value is set on the target in a number of ways:
 * setting a field, calling a method, setting an indexed property.
 * The Target interface hides the complexity.  The set method is simply
 * invoked with the value.  A class that implements the Target interface
 * needs to supply enough information in the constructor to properly do the
 * set (for example see MethodTarget)
