Any expression starting with [ is considered a numeric expression

I don't understand what the issue is.  Can you give more of a code sample?  
With what type are you constructing the serializer?  The 2 is a numeric 
expression, inside the [] it will be an array.

I feel the framework is treating any string starting with [ and not having a , 
as a numeric expression.  But I may be wrong, please look at the code samples 
below.

Serializer s = new Serializer(typeof(List<int>));
List<int> x = (List<int>)s.Deserialize("[2]"); //gives me a numeric expression 
error
List<int> x = (List<int>)s.Deserialize(" [2]"); //works as expected
Serializer s = new Serializer(typeof(List<String>));
List<String> x = (List<String>)s.Deserialize("[\"2\"]"); //gives me a numeric 
expression error
List<String> x = (List<String>)s.Deserialize(" [\"2\"]"); //works as expected

Somehow a simple fix of adding a " "(space) in front solves the problem.

I'm unable to reproduce the issue.  It's working fine for me.  Are you in a 
different locale?  What framework and OS is this running on?
