Yes, I could do that, but it would be more complicated. In my real application,
I don't keep the references to that map's values in the same place with the map;
the reconstruction process would thus influence many other components as well,
which I wouldn't want to do. If I understand Boost.Serialization correctly (and
that is of course in doubt here! :-), it is able to accomplish these things for
you and should thus make the serialization code much less verbose.
