/* note: at first it seemed that this would be a good place to trap
 * as an error an attempt to set a version # for a class which doesn't
 * save its class information (including version #) in the archive.
 * However, this imposes a requirement that the version be set after
 * the implementation level which would be pretty confusing.  If this
 * is to be done, do this check in the input or output operators when
 * ALL the serialization traits are available.  Included the implementation
 * here with this comment as a reminder not to do this!
