Internally cereal uses some wrapper classes to test the validity of non-member minimal load and save functions. This can interfere with user type traits on templated load and save minimal functions. To get to the correct underlying type, users should use **strip\_minimal** when performing any enable\_if type type trait checks.

See the enum serialization in **types/common.hpp** for an example of using this
