True. Of course I would use something like

ar & boost::make_nvp("MyTag", this->m_);

in production code.

No, I don't think so. The structs A, B, and C have serialize() member
functions. The save() and load() functions are not the serialization functions
but only two arbitrary functions that create an archive and use it
to save or load an object.

I should have called them foo() and bar() :-)
-- which i tried just now, just to be sure, and the error remains.
