So "we can do this", but apparently we don't want to. If this is the case, and the current scheme is acceptable, it's easy for me to just add a friend declaration to shared_ptr and be done with it.

IIRC, then this would not solve one problem you described in an earlier post. Namely how a weak_ptr can be loaded before the first shared_ptr referencing the same object is loaded. As you stated, it seems that solving this problem *requires* that serialization users can assoicate arbitrary data with an archive during load.
