Hmmm .. I'm wondering if we can write a Scala compiler plugin that transform functions provided to Lift's S/SHtml function etc. into a richer FunctionX implementation that knows how to "serialize" it's members. We could restrict the types that as LiftSerializable on top of primitives, Calenars, SessionVar/RequestVar etc. If users need their own classes to be LiftSerilizable they would have to implement LiftSerializable trait.
