i like that exception takes instance of XmlPullParser as it allows to extract
any information it needs. but dependency is also not good. maybe we should
have a clean separate exception just for serializer XmlSerializerException?
changing constructor in XmlPullParserException is backward incompatible
change that i would like to avoid ...
