Comment (by ramey):

 I took another look at your example.  It is not a simple example or test.
 it has serialization of cycles, boost shared pointers, implementation
 across DLLs and serialization through a base class pointer and xml.  Each
 of these is sort  a "corner case" in that it required separate coding and
 attention to these aspects so that the features can be combined in an
 orthogonal way.

 I also took another look at your patch.  This involves Export facility
 which is another very murky area which touches upon C++ instatiation,
 visibility across compilers and other stuff.

 So introducing such a patch under these circumstances has a strong
 possibility of turning into a very major investment of time.
