Both Data::Dumper and Storable provide hooks to customize serialization ($Data::Dumper::Freezer|Toaster, STORABLE_freeze|_thaw). Other modules like YAML and Clone could also possibly reuse a common state marshalling interface.
Is there some common element to this process which can be gathered into a Serialize role with a default implementation? Does the meta information or object construction process change the needs for Perl 6?
