There is?  Completely forgot about that.

If I recall the big wish list item I had for your serializer was
robust subclass handling for things like serializing a BaseClass[]
with a mix of pointers to BaseClass and DerivedClass.  You need to be
able to de-serialize that by saying something like
unserialize!(BaseClass[]).  I think at the time I tried it, your
serializer didn't save enough info to know the proper derived class to
load up.
