We can require that this function is called prior to any other serialization library function, and that the extended_type_info_storage object is afloat while the serialization library is in use.

Such a requirement was considered unacceptable for a number of reviewers. The basic argument against it was that it wouldn't work with "plug-in" type code where the main progam needs to be able o dynamically load types which were not defined at the time the main code was written. The library does provide a simple portable solution for those willing to specify the types they expect to use before they are serialized. This seems similar in effect to what you propose. Robert Ramey
