There is ALWAYS a way.  If nothing else works you can wrap your type in its 
own class/struct and serialize that with inline funcitions.  In this way you 
can do things like serializing a pointer to an integer which would normally 
not possible as the implementation level is primitive.

arrays have been broken out in the 1.35 version.
