 GSON 2.x sets fields of the requested type only
 com.google.gson.functional.InstanceCreatorTest.testInstanceCreatorReturnsSubTypeForField
+
+GSON 1.x applies different rules for versioning for classes vs fields. So, if you deserialize a
+   JSON into a field that is supposed to be skipped, the field is set to null (or default value). 
+   However, if you deserialize it to a top-level class, a default instance is returned.
+GSON 2.x returns null for the top-level class.
