 class_name_type is defined to be bitwise serializable, but it contains a
 char pointer meant to be a string.
 in the archive types that come with boost there is an explicit
 save_override to convert it to a std::string, but if you implement an own
 archive and determine how to save a type using is_bitwise_serializable,
 you end up saving a pointer bitwise.
