While you're at it, any possibility you could add serialization to boost::variant? Robert Ramey Bruno Martínez Aguerre wrote:

Hi, I can imagine cases where the current behavior might be preferable (e.g., uses of variant types in generic contexts). But I think for the vast majority of cases, and especially in non-generic contexts, checking the type as you propose is a good idea. I will determine a way to work this into the library, either by modifying the semantics of boost::get or by introducing a new accessor function. Thanks for the input.
