If a non-expanding interface is needed (non-template so that every type 
isn't accepted) does it really violate DRY?

I've create true_typedef of the basic type like uint16, uint32, int16, 
etc.  I've written my own serialization interface (I know boost already 
has one) and I'm restricting the interface to only allow certain types.  
I'm trying to centralize the were the real work happens so if new types 
are needed then added them won't be difficult.
