First of all - these are serializable types by virtue of the fact that they are convertible to integers and references to integers.
If you are claiming that convertibility to integers and references to integers is enough to satisfy your Serializable concept, I can almost **guarantee** you that the concept is ill-defined, and that using the Boost Concept Check Library properly would prove it.
Hmm - that is in fact my claim. In fact I believe that any type implicitly convertible to a c++ primitive type (type and reference) is a serializable type. An archive class is required to be able to serialize all serializable types - so any archive class has to be able to serialize all c++ primitives. So what am I missing here. BTW - I just checked the documentation and althoutgh the above is what I meant - it doesn't quite say this. I can easily fix that. Robert Ramey
