[#SERIALIZE_METHODS]
= SERIALIZE_METHODS
:mrdocs:

Implement the Serialize and Unserialize methods by delegating to a single templated static method that takes the to‐be‐(de)serialized object as a parameter. This approach has the advantage that the constness of the object becomes a template parameter, and thus allows a single implementation that sees the object as const for serializing and non‐const for deserializing, without casts.
