Hm, i definitely don't want to have too many abstract functions in the 
interface, since it makes things anoying (IMHO). This is a part we 
should probably think through very thoroughly, since the unit 
serialization mechanisms should be exactly the same. But then, maybe for 
units a mandatory ascii serialization function would make a lot more 
sense.....
I'm not really sure with this, have to think about it a bit more :)
