Comment(by ramey):

 I don't think that data types should be coupled to archives.

 That is, any data that can be serialized to one kind of archive should be
 serializable to ALL kinds of archives.  That is why std::wstring must be
 serializable into a text or xml_archive.  The real fix is to make
 adjustments so that all characters are rendered.  This is not trivial to
 do without a big performance hit.  So its and open issue for now.
