/// To get around this, this class exists which serialises a payload (<see cref="LegacyIpcMessage.Data"/>) as an <see cref="System.Object"/> type,
/// which can be deserialised at either end because it is part of the core library (mscorlib / System.Private.CorLib).
/// The payload contains the data to be sent over the IPC channel.
/// <br />
/// At either end, Json.NET deserialises the payload into a <see cref="JObject"/> which is manually converted back into the expected <see cref="LegacyIpcMessage.Data"/> type,
/// which then further contains another <see cref="JObject"/> representing the data sent over the IPC channel whose type can likewise be lazily matched through
