Serialization support for colony container

[woodb...@gmail.com]

Shalom

I've added serialization support for Matthew Bentley's
colony container -- http://plflib.org --
to the C++ Middleware Writer. I also added some code that
tests this support to the example directory of my Github repo -- https://github.com/Ebenezer-group/onwards .

Probably the C++ Middleware Writer is one of the only
serialization options that supports colonies. "We few,
we happy few ..."

Thanks to Jon Kalb for his CppChat show where he talked
to Matthew about this container --

. One of the things Matthew and Jon talked about was what
was said about this container at the recent C++ standards
meeting in Hawaii. Matthew said the committee had some positive
things to say about adding the container to the standard and Jon
suggested "condominium" as a possible alternative name. I'm
fine with the name as it is.

Some of Boost is genius without a plan. I guess that
still surprises some people here. Maybe it would help
to think of my software as an alternative to the
serialization library in Boost, but that isn't itself
in Boost. Originally, I believe, Matthew Bentley was
going to try to have his colony container added to Boost.
But that's not really a necessary step, and it looks like
colony will pass-over Boost on it's way to the standard.
I'm thinking some of Boost is cool and all for years,
but have known that formal inclusion in Boost wasn't a
necessary step for me either. :) Might as well get used
to on line code generation. I've been saying these things
for ye

Good quote and I agree with you there.

To announce your library properly you can

* announce it.

In earlier times you could just put it in the montly posted C++ library
listed, but that stuff seems to be gone.
