[Boost-users] serializing enums (and arrays)

I can't figure out how to override serializating enums (and arrays) - without
hacking the source code, that is. save_enum_type is defined in
boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp, and converts them into ints (btw, would
longs be safer?). I tried defining a serialize function and specifying the
implementation level to object_serializable, but that didn't work (and given
how it's defined and used, there seems to be no way of overriding via template
specialization).

Perhaps save_enum_type and save_array_type could be put into a separate header
(out of the archive/detail and maybe into boost/serialization along with
vector.hpp, etc)?

BTW, thanks for the great library!
