 Do you have a suggestion as to how this should be addressed? For example,
 should serializing a std::wstring to a text archive yield an appropriately
 encoded (maybe Base64) string, then when read back be appropriately
 decoded? How will this work on binary archives and in other user-provided
 archives (like the ones Boost.MPI provides)?
