It is supposed that Ptree have constructor from std::basic_string (see property_tree/detail/xml_parser_read_rapidxml.hpp line 77), but it actually doesn't. We don't use boost::property_tree::ptree, we use our implementation of pree. BTW user can use boost::property_tree::basic_ptree from different types.

Please revert this fix!

All the serializers only work with PTrees whose data type is std::basic_string. Anything different is just an accident.

This will be clarified with the doc update, and possibly changed eventually. But I have to figure out a good way of doing so.
