Re: [boost] customizable std::vector item name

There's some confusion here, the name in name value pair is used for the 
name data - not the typename.

In any case, you might try deriving from xml_oachive and re-implement the 
following function:

typedef detail::common_oarchive<Archive> detail_common_oarchive;
template<class T>
void save_override(
#ifndef BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING
const
#endif
::boost::serialization::nvp<my_type> & t,
int
){
save_start(t.name()); // t.name includes "item" replace with whatever you 
choose like "my_type" + t.name

this->detail_common_oarchive::save_override(t.const_value(), 0);
save_end(t.name());

Of course this would likely have all manner of undesired side-effects - like 
changing ALL the tags for this type - not just "item". And of course it 
would only work for my_type, etc.,etc.
