Is it possible to let the user manage the lifetime of the type
registry of the serialization library? I think that would not impose
much difficulties on the user, the type registry could just be
associated with archive objects before they're used, that is, the
library itself will get to it through the archive.

Note that with this setup the user still has the option to make the
type registry global if that's what they want.
