struct A {};
struct B : public A {};
struct C : public A {};

...
A *b = new B();
A *c = new C();

archive.serialize(b);
archive.serialize(c);
...

A *db, *dc;
archive.deserialize(db);
archive.deserialize(dc);

// now db should be a pointer to identical contents to b, and concrete
type B, and dc should be a pointer to identical contents to c and
concrete type C
