     What's current thinking on how to write out a linked structure
of class objects in C++, when the purpose is to read it back in later?
This is of course easy to do in LISP, and hard in C.  Lacking polymorphism,
it will be hard in C++ as well, but perhaps someone has some good ideas,
or better, class libraries.
