Serialization has a special meaning in computing (more than one, in
fact). An ordinary dictionary won't do; you need a computing dictionary.

``Serialization'' in this context means the same thing as
``marshalling''. It's not restricted to the object oriented paradigm.
It just means taking some internal representation of data and
producting some external representation, for transmission or
persistent storage. ``Flattening'' is another word for this.
