OK - that's not too bad.  I'll find a place to put it into the 
documentation.
There's around 10 of them and they're all convertable to some
type of C++ integer so it shouldn't be too hard.

My list of requirements on these is
convertible to some type of c++ integer
having serialization trait "primitive"

Do you want to add default constructble as well?  As I said
I haven't needed it and think that needing this  is likely an
error - but I would add it if you think it's necessary.

I think this is already specified by the archive concept.

Would adding the above information address this as well?
