FYI - the reason that serialization was never "upgraded" was that as far 
as I could tell it had a different interface.  And since version 1 works 
forever, there was never any motivation to change the serialization library.

FYI2 - My policy is that once something is working, I don't mess with it 
unless there is some substantive reason to do so.  E.G. I wouldn't 
change anything from one thing to another just because the later is 
"more modern"
