FYI - the reason that serialization was never "upgraded" was that as far
as I could tell it had a different interface. And since version 1 works
forever, there was never any motivation to change the serialization library.
FYI2 - My policy is that once something is working, I don't mess with it
unless there is some substantive reason to do so. E.G. I wouldn't
change anything from one thing to another just because the later is
"more modern"
