        The big deal is that there is a non-intrusive serialize function
(i.e. an external function) rather than a method on SmartPtr. The
problem is that this function is not being detected, so the template
library falls through to trying to use a serialize method, which does
not exist. 

        Because I'm building on another library, there is no possibility
of going over to any other kind of smart pointer.
