Hmm  - I checked that section and maybe it is confusing but not in the way 
it seems.

the registration  or export must be done on BOTH saving and loading of 
archives.  It just occurred to me that this might not be obvious. My usage 
of & rather than << or >> reflects that examples such as the above use ... 
to replace code which creates and archive instance "ar" which could either 
be in input and /or output archive. I would be reluctant to replace the & 
above with << as it would suggest that << would be OK when it wouldn't be in 
all the cases where the example is applicable.

So, I can see that its confusing, but I'm confused about what kind of 
confusion is occuring.
