Re: [boost] [serialization] implementing class_name_optional_type

Hmmm - where does this class name come from if the class isn't exported?

Would this mean that to make YAML archive, all class names MUST
be exported?  What about primitives like "int", do they need class
names as well?

I would guess this needs more thought.
