In C# implementation, how to parse to structs separated by BT_STOP_BASE about bond HOT 2 CLOSED

BT_STOP_BASE is used to delimit where a base class ends when inheritance is used.

The following Bond

struct Foo
{
    0: string foo_string;
}

struct Bar : Foo
{
    0: string bar_string;
}

gets turned into C# that looks roughly like this:

class Foo
{
    public string foo_string { get; set; }
}

class Bar : Foo
{
    public string bar_string { get; set; }
}

Say you serialize one of these to Compact Binary v1:

var obj = new Bar { foo_string = "foo", bar_string = "bar" };

var output = new OutputBuffer();
var writer = new CompactBinaryWriter<OutputBuffer>(output);
Serialize.To(writer, src);

The Compact Binary payload would be, in pseudo payload:

1. BT_STRING { id: 0, length: 3 }
2. foo
3. BT_STOP_BASE
4. BT_STRING { id: 0, length: 3 }
5. bar
6. BT_STOP

If you added another layer, struct Baz : Bar { 0: string baz_string; }, there would be two BT_STOP_BASE tokens, one after the Foo and one after the Bar:

1. BT_STRING { id: 0, length: 3 }
2. foo
3. BT_STOP_BASE
4. BT_STRING { id: 0, length: 3 }
5. bar
6. BT_STOP_BASE
7. BT_STRING { id: 0, length: 3 }
8. baz
9. BT_STOP

@chwarr amazing - this works really well, thank you for a very thorough and concrete explanation!
