Re: TextBuffer tags

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

Gtk::TextBuffer::serialize() and deserialize() are useful. They don't 
save anything, but they convert to and from a byte string that you can 
store in a file. Those methods were added to gtkmm in version 3.15.9. 
The corresponding gtk+ methods have existed much longer.

If you wonder why serialize() does not return a Glib::ustring or 
std::string, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694250#c2
