[boost] [serialization] Adding support for boost types

Hi,

I was wondering if some consensus was reached on adding serialization
support for boost types?

Even if it was:

class A
{
...
        template<typename Archive>
        void serialize(Archive &, const unsigned int); // user should
define this
...
};

It would be helpful as the authors wouldn't have to support it and the
users wouldn't have to jump through hoops to serialize the objects.
Additionally, boost types would not have a dependency on the
serialization library.

Then, if the author wants to support serialization he would make sure to
use boost::make_nvp => dependency on serialization library goodness.

Thanks,

Sohail
