Comment:

 This is a bad idea.  It would then make the serialization library
 dependent on the file system library.  This violates the current practice
 and signs me up for more maintenance forever which is unsustainable.  The
 correct solution is to add a header file to the file system library
 boost/filesystem/serialization/path.hpp or maybe
 boost/filesystem/path/serialization.hpp
