I want to thank you guys for spending time on this.  I know it's time 
consuming
and you have other things to do.  I'm watching the discussion in the hope 
that
a consensus will be achieved and I can just update i/oserializer with the 
conclusion.

If you made a simple - reliable test case, I would consider adding it to the 
test
suite as this aspect of the library is important to me.  However, I realize 
that
that might not be possible.

And compromises - like presuming that no de-serialization occurs before
main is called are very acceptable to me - given the alternatives.

Note that the order of creation is related to the fact that we use this 
idiom
- instantiation via the usage of static variables - in several places.  On 
is
to instantiate serializers for derived classes (later) and one for 
maintaining
the global table of types that the system knows about (sooner)

Maybe that is helpful.
