from my previous glance, XTL tries to support more complex needs, 
(like restoring pointers, maybe cyclic stuff..)
At that time, I had difficulty compiling it, there was a few non-std 
things, so I could not really use it.

I will do that, but since I only need to be able to save / load 
nested containers, persistence is sufficient for me (and, I guess, 
faster to fully understand).
I doubt XTL can be as simple to use as persistence, if designed to 
support tricky things.
but well, glancing at a piece of code is always worth the time.
