`WithUnknownContent` Does Not Support List Members

Hello and thank you very much for the EXS library. I would like to ask about the way how unknown elements are deserialized into array/list items. Please consider following example. Currently extended serializer creates an instance of animal per each inner element of Animals node even for cases that element name is not Animal. Is there a way to configure EXS not do so and skip these unknown elements? This behavior differs from standard XmlSerializer which does not deserialize unknown child elements. Any help would be very appreciated.

[Test]
public void ShouldIgnoreUnknownXmlArrayItems()
{
    var input = "<Zoo><Animals><Animal/><Animal/><Human/></Animals></Zoo>";

    var serializer = new ConfigurationContainer()
        .Type<Zoo>()
        .Name("Zoo")
        .EnableImplicitTyping(typeof(Zoo))
        .Create();

    var contentStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input));
    var reader = XmlReader.Create(contentStream));
    var deserialized = (Zoo) serializer.Deserialize(reader);

    Assert.That(deserialized.Animals.Count, Is.EqualTo(2));
}

public class Zoo
{
    public List<Animal> Animals { get; set; }
}

public class Animal
{
}

I was trying to play around with WithUnknownContent method and put breakpoint into Call lambda as described in #256 . However the breakpoint was never hit by debugger.

.EnableReaderContext()
.WithUnknownContent().Call(reader =>
{
    // debugger never reach this code
    var content = reader.Content();
})

Thanks again for your patience and collaboration with this issue. It is very much appreciated! I am glad we were able to track this down and it wouldn’t have been possible without your sleuthing.

If you find any additional issues with this please do let me know and I will see if they can be addressed. Closing for now.

Thank you Mike. I am glad to see that I was almost there. Yesterday I was just playing with that UnknownContentHandlingExtension.Services class but I did not know about the IClassification that does the magic. And regarding the design of code - to be honest, show me a good developer who never wanted to delete whole solution and start all over.
