Another thing that explore provides beyond the basic 'cout << c' is a set of extendable manipulators. These behave like existing std manipulators to modify the formatting of the output. Love them or hate them, they are familiar to a large base of developers.
In particular, the cols and item_width manipulators together provide a simple but powerful way to stream numeric data.
Can either serialization or karma handle this as easily?
Serialization cannot (as base, you could make a new archive format though, but that would be a bit of work). Karma can handle this easily, it is designed for it.
