Sorry, but I still do not see how this can avoid an MxN problem,  
since for each of M archive class I will need to overload the  
serialization of N classes. Maybe I am just not seeing a trick that  
you have in mind, but I would think that I

- need to overload the serialization for all N classes (array,  
vector, valarray, .....) for the demo_fast_archive.
- again overload the serialization for all N classes for the fast  
portable binary archive
- again overload the serialization for all N classes for the MPI archive
- again overload the serialization for all N classes for the  
polymorphic archives
  and so on...

Can you tell me what I'm missing here?
