Sometimes during serialization an object needs to know a lot more than 
it does during normal operation.  The way I've dealt with this in the 
past is to subclass the archive I want to use and add setter/getters for 
the data that various objects down the line are going to need to store 
and retrieve themselves.

Is there a better way though, something that's built into the library 
already maybe?  I don't see anything but I thought I'd ask.
