I'm not certain I quite understand this. Perhaps I didn't get my
thoughts down coherently. I'm seeking to write my serialization like
this (sorry I forgot to include this in my initial msg):
char some_array[5] = "test";
....
ar & make_nvp("some_array", make_char_array(some_array, 5));
And obtain the following output:
output.xml:
...
<some_array>test</some_array>
output.txt:
.... 4 test ....
---------------------------
My aforementioned make_char_array() works fine for text archives--just
not when the result is composed with make_nvp().

Which is pretty much what my serialization wrapper is doing (this is in
fact, what I wrote initially, before trying to make it a serialization
wrapper). While I can certainly do the blunt approach, it will require
me to split my serialization function :(
