> When using new capability in PIVOT-514, sometimes you need to get the enclosing object. While this could be added to the createInstance method, you can also add it as a protected method. The code is below:
>  /**
>      * Return the enclosing object which is this element's parent's value.
>      * @return
>      */
>     protected Object getEnclosingObject() {
>       return element.parent==null?null:element.parent.value;
>     }
> This allows extensions of the serializer to know what the enclosing object is. From there, the tree can be climbed back to the root.
> It is possible to make instance creation a strategy design pattern, but the subclassing approach is sufficient for now but there are not strong use-cases supporting it.
