  | For now, can we think of a way to use a String as a substitute for the Region Fqn in the partial state transfer call? E.g. restrict the components of a Region Fqn to String/Number/Enum, all of which can be fairly safely converted to a String. Or hopefully something more elegant than that :-)

Well, the problem here is that writing an Integer or Enum as a String is alll nice and easy, but re-serializing is tougher.

Basically, Fqns containing {"test", "1"} will look the same as {"test", new Integer(1)} if serialized to Strings.  How do you know which to deserialize to, to identify the region to apply the partial state to?  What if they both exist in the same tree?
