I probably won't touch classes specifically in any future post though, unless I can think of something interesting to do with them. It's outside of the scope of the tutorial, but the "tough" part in serializing classes is realizing that they're a reference type rather than value type. Just like with serializing pointers, I could have two references pointing to the same class object, and a smart deserializer would create only one class object and point both references to it.

Also, until run.dlang.io's ability to create links is fixed, the usual links to snippets won't take you anywhere.
