I'm also very interested in seeing the status of std.serialize. 
The lack of a serialization library in phobos is rather 
disappointing, and it would be nice to see the situation 
rectified. From what I can tell, orange/std.serialize seems quite 
nice, but I haven't personally tried it yet as I'd rather avoid 
third party dependencies and have been waiting for it to make it 
into phobos instead.
