Hi, I was wondering if some consensus was reached on adding serialization support for boost types? Even if it was: class A { ... template<typename Archive> void serialize(Archive &, const unsigned int); // user should define this ... }; It would be helpful as the authors wouldn't have to support it and the users wouldn't have to jump through hoops to serialize the objects. Additionally, boost types would not have a dependency on the serialization library. Then, if the author wants to support serialization he would make sure to use boost::make_nvp => dependency on serialization library goodness. Thanks, Sohail
