Unless I'm mistaken, this also requires that all pointers to the 
elements of the container need to unserialized *after* unserializing the 
container itself. Unserializing pointers first will create the instances 
which will be moved to the container later. Moving will not update the 
original pointers, unless unserialization is retriggered for the objects 
containing the pointers or some other trick is used.

Another issue is with vector's reallocation, but it appears that the 
library already handles this.
