I thought the serialization library was "clean" until someone complained
that there were warnings at level 4.  When I investigated, I found
that the major complaint was that that I had "const" members
so the compiler couldn't generate copy/assigment functions.
It turns out that these classes used the boost::noncopyable
facility.  So to eliminate these warnings this facility needs
to be re-implemented in a different way.  It sort of an illustration
how an idea with the the best of intentions leads to seems to
lead to a host of unanticipated consequences.  (Hmmm
reminds me of current political events - maybe I watch to
much TV).

Bottom line, I'm stuck in a box.
