Comment (by boost@…):

 Well, okay, that seems fair enough.  However, where does that leave
 boost::uuid? - it was the serialization of this type that originally
 tripped me up.

 Was it incorrect for uuid to have used
 boost::serialization::primitive_type?  Should this issue be transferred to
 that library?

 As it stands, uuid can not be serialized to a polymorphic archive.
