Some info about the cw-8.3 fails. Yes as expected it's another case of
static initializers not getting generated because the are too "far" or
too "indirect" with respect to the usage point in user code. To verify
this I made this change to test_diamond tests:

Which makes that test pass on cw-8.3. Basically it's failing to create
the init code for anything but the directly serialized class/archive
combinations. And it doesn't generate it for the indirect ones, in this
case the subclass because it doesn't tie it to the serialization of the
polymorphic superclass.
Any ideas on how to solve this are welcome. But I suspect it's not
solvable without adding something on the client code.
