------------------------------------------------------------+---------------
 In previous versions of serialization, this class did not have a destroy
 method and the only thing which called destructors was class access, which
 has private access.  In this version, extended_type_info_typeid also has a
 destroy but is not appropriately friended.

 This means that a common singleton pattern, in which the destructor is
 made private, does not work with serialization.  Attached in a file that
 can be compiled to give an example of this bug.
