Is there a particular reason why the serialization library does not provide serialization functions for types in other boost libraries?

IIUC, it goes in the opposite direction: other boost libraries do not provide serialization functions for their types. But some libraries do - like MultiIndex, DateTime etc...

Indeed, the serialization codes for classes defined by a library belongs with that library. Matthias

However, the serialization library provides serialization for std types. If and when boost::filesystem makes it into the standard, does the library then provide an implementation?

If and when a Boost library makes it into the standard one will probably make the Boost version work with the standard Matthias
