[boost] share_ptr serialization

In the course if making a new shared_ptr seriailzation implementation, I've
come upon a question.

If a shared pointer has been created with a custome deleter, how is one to
determine what kind of deleter is attached without opening the
implementation of shared_ptr?  That is, I see no way to correctly
serialize/deserialize a shared_ptr with a custom deleter from the published
interface of shared_ptr.  Can anyone explain how to do this?
