Speaking from memory,  I think the purpose of serialization::access is 
to provide accesses to the serialization functions rather then all the 
functions.  Also if memory serves me, this issue has come up before and 
we went through some efforts to address it but in the end couldn't make 
it work.  You might want to check the history of the serialization of 
optional in git hub
