In the forthcoming Boost serialization library:

http://www.rrsd.com/boost/

there's a state_saver template class that does what you're talking about:

http://www.rrsd.com/boost/libs/serialization/doc/state_saver.html

This seems useful enough to promote to a library more general than the serialization library.

Hmm! I was suggesting that the state_saver template from the serialization library be elevated. If the protassign template makes it into Boost sooner, may I suggest that the serialization library be revised to use protassign instead of state_saver? We certainly wouldn't want two redundant Boost templates.
