It is because many methods in ObjectInputStream are defined as 'final',
making overriding the original behavior very difficult.  It would have
been nicer if it was less strict. :-(

A user needs to use ObjectInput/Output rather than
ObjectInput/OutputStream if he or she wants pluggability in object
serialization.
