Hmmm - what I don't understand is how this would be different that calling

void basic_oarchive::write_array(void* p, size_t count)

which has been in the library from the very beginning.

So you can just as well wite

class MyClass
{
        double d[100000];
        void save(basic_oarchive &ar)
        {
                write_binary(d, sizeof(d));
        }
        ...
};

Incidently, this would work for any kind of archive - not just the
binary ones.
