I have some WithDropChoice<EditStrings> that I need to Serialize. I was using s % edit. This has the problem that while it does serialize the content of the EditString, it also serializes the contents of the DropChoice. I use the serialized data for cross application profiles, so only the EditString content should go in the stream, the content to DropChoice should be unique for every application.

If I use s % ~edit, the EditString remains empty. Is there a simple way to serialize only the EditString?

PS: Also, WithDropChoice is a little poor on features. I don't need these features right now, but at least minimal QTF support for bold/color text and index selection would be nice.
