Perhaps a format is needed. Some sort of unholy amalgamation of an
extension of msgpack and lua's pack/unpack (I think msgpack is little
endian and lua's format is flexible)? Like LOM is to JSON. That has
nothing to do with __serialize, but maybe a format specification is
what is needed to help complete Lua's multi-threaded toolbox.
