I can't promise I'll use it, but here are some use cases that *do*
serialize, just not to FILE *:

- Storing into a database, as a blob. Needs serialisation to char* most

- Sending over a network, within a framework like apache, which has a
  calls like ap_rputc, ap_rprintf and ap_send_fd that should be used.
