This is the moral equivalent of fwrite'ing the vector to disk. It can
work... for a while... if you don't upgrade the compiler and never change
the object layout, or if you don't mind all your files being invalidated.
Some compilers use such a scheme for their precompiled headers, I believe.
You don't really need a serialization library for this, of course. ;-)
