More progress, mostly planning and playing.

I'm trying to find the right design usage patterns for using the archive
system with tagging and lists and dictionaries.  Also, are there other
structures that I'm missing?

     /**
-     * Provides a framework for serialization of objects and primitives.  The
-     * archive will handle any basic primitive, a few special types, like char *
-     * strings, as well as STL classes and anything that inherits from the
-     * Archival class.  Each ArchiveBinary operates on a Stream, so you can send the
-     * data using an ArchiveBinary almost anywhere.
-     *
-     * In order to use an ArchiveBinary to store something to a file, try something
-     * like:
-     *@code
-     * File sOut("output", "wb"); // This is a stream subclass
-     * ArchiveBinary ar( sOut, ArchiveBinary::save );
-     * ar << myClass;
-     @endcode
-     * In this example myClass is any class that inherits from Archival.  When
-     * the storage operator is called, the Archival::archive() function in the
-     * myClass object is called with a reference to the ArchiveBinary.  This can be
-     * handled in one of two ways:
-     *@code
-     * void MyClass::archive( ArchiveBinary &ar )
-     * {
-     *  ar && sName && nAge && sJob;
-     * }
-     @endcode
-     * Here we don't worry about weather we're loading or saving by using the
-     * smart && operator.  This allows us to write very consistent, very simple
-     * archive functions that really do a lot of work.  If we wanted to do
-     * something different in the case of loading or saving we would do:
-     *@code
-     * void MyClass::archive( ArchiveBinary &ar )
-     * {
-     *  if( ar.isLoading() )
-     *  {
-     *      ar >> sName >> nAge >> sJob;
-     *  } else
-     *  {
-     *      ar << sName << nAge << sJob;
-     *  }
-     * }
-     @endcode
-     * ArchiveBinary currently does not provide facility to make fully portable
-     * archives.  For example, it will not convert between endianness for you,
-     * nor will it take into account differences between primitive sizes on
-     * different platforms.  This, at the moment, is up to the user to ensure.
-     * One way of dealing with the latter problem is to make sure and use
-     * explicit primitive types from the stdint.h header, i.e. int32_t.
