I had a quick look at the code. Based on that and how short the code is 
I'm guessing it lacks some features.

I've been working on a serialization package for Phobos for a long time. 
Basically moving Orange [1] in to Phobos.

My serialization library supports:

* Fully automatic serialization
* Serializing non-public fields
* Serializing without registering types (except when serialized through 
a base class reference)
* Serializing third party types
* Custom serialization, both intrusive and no-intrusive
* Tracking of references, pointers and arrays to only serialize the data 
once
* Properly restores arrays and slices
* Separate front end (serializer) from back end (archiver/format)
* Deserializing of classes without default constructor
