Also, since you're put your finger on the issue, maybe there is a tweak that could be made so that serialization of polymorphic types might be supported as well.

I'm not sure exactly what's required for serialization, but it might be possible to add support through some of the facilities in Boost.TypeIndex that provide a type of RTTI emulation.
actually the serialization library has it's own type tracking facility when predated Boost.TypeIndex for many years. It's called extended_type_info. But in any case, I'm guessing that your guess that this might be related to the difficulty in serialization polymorphic types without RTTI might be related. But I've never been able to justify the time to track it all down.
