// This header is used to apply serialization traits to templates.  The
// standard system can't be used for platforms which don't support
// Partial Templlate Specialization.

// The motivation for this is the Name-Value Pair (NVP) template.
// it has to work the same on all platforms in order for archives
// to be portable accross platforms.
