Well, your organization could contract with me to address this for you.

I've done special work for several companies which use the serialization
library.  This work has been contributed to boost and become part of the
distributed package.  So

b) Any generally useful enhancements get included in the library

So it helps everyone all around.

Thanks in advance for considering this.
