while you are absolutely right in general, I'd argue that in this
particular case (binary dumping/undumping) the closer-than-comfortable
relation with the allocator is basically inevitable.
perhaps some more-low-level-but-still-public interface to the
allocator could be defined to allow some kind of reflection over
object representation. which reminds me that I even worked on
something related a year ago. hmm.
