Hmm - that is in fact my claim.  In fact I believe that any
type implicitly convertible to a c++ primitive type (type and reference)
is a serializable type.  An archive class is required to
be able to serialize all serializable types - so any archive
class has to be able to serialize all c++ primitives.

So what am I missing here.

BTW - I just checked the documentation and althoutgh the above
is what I meant - it doesn't quite say this.  I can easily fix that.
