I've written simple versions of streaming operators (both output and input) for the standard containers as a simple, low-barrier-to-entry form of serialization. Do you plan to provide the input operators too? (I understand this would involve some restrictions on the streamed forms of the container elements to prevent parsing ambiguity.)
how would this be different than just writing a special archive class and using boost seriallization?

It didn't require learning to use Boost.Serialization. Also, in the specific case I needed this for, I was running code on a cluster where Boost was not available, so it was lighter-weight (although obviously far less featureful). --Jeffrey Bosboom
