   I'm new to this list, but think this topic worthy. Especially if
it can be done in a way that is non-intrusive. That is, that the
objects that are serialize do not have to inherit from a common base
class. I remember reading an article in the now defunct C++ Report
which described a way to do that. That would be great, because if you
custom objects conatained STL objects and still be serializable, that
would be super.
