... which turns out to be `object_serializable' (Serialize the
objects of this type using the objects "serialize" function or
template. This permits values to be written/read to/from archives
but includes no class or version information).

This does not compile, obviously there is no way to
simply assign one to another.

Having used `object_serializable' instead of `primitive_type'
(same for `object_class_info') got me back to the original
problem, since there's no builtin `serialize' method for this
class.
