Hello everyone; this is probably a question only a few people could
possibly, answer (Robert, Wang), but here goes:

I have created a derived osg::Image class (osgCairo::Image), and this
has worked just fine for the last few years. However, I want to add
strong serialization support for my nodekits, and I'm finding
customizing an Images behavior in the serialization code is quite
difficult.

Images are treated as special kinds of Objects, so any custom behavior
you might add confuses the base serializers, and there doesn't appear to
be any way to avoid this.

My question is: should the serialization backend be modified to support
osg::Image subclasses, or should programmers be encouraged NOT to derive
from osg::Image directly and instead create "contains-a" objects
instead?
