Hi!
I want to serialize objects that link to each other through pointers, like a
linked list, but in this case a more complex graph with several different
classes and proxies (a graph which can contain loops and and null-pointers).

that an object have been serialized once before through its pointer. The
contents should be serialized/deserialized only once, and then the pointers
should just be kept consistent.
An alternative is of course to replace all the pointers with indeces which are
memory-independent. But that's a messy affair.
In the copy constructor I solved something similar through a map
