Might I also suggest a similar interface which allows the caller to
specify the name to go with the value:

BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NAME_VALUE ("variable", m_variable);

I'm sure many folks add prefix m_ or trailing underscore warts to
member names, and IMHO these don't really have any business being in
the serialized form of the object.
