What I really don't like is excessive amount of object in the
API. For example, I have found no reason why I need to create
serializer object to simply dump a struct state. It is both
boilerplate and runtime overhead I can't justify. Only state
serializer has is archiver - and it is simply collection of
methods on its own. I prefer to be able to do something like
`auto data = serialize!XmlArchiver(value);`
I think this is very important. Simple uses should be as
simple as
possible.

This would enhance the 1-liner: write("file",
serialize!XmlArchiver(InputRange));
We could even make nearly everything private except an
isArchiver() template and serialize!().
