If I had been using any objects whose individual serialization version/format
had changed, I wouldn't have been able to trick the 1.33 using binaries into
reading the format output by my new 1.34 using binaries. So, I think I got
lucky and this hack works. I don't know how likely others will be in running
into problems with individual class version increments.
