I am interested in this. The current constant serialization is just
the simplest thing to do, and had added utility for any text-based
transfer. I held off on binary/bytecode serialization because I hadn't
yet decided how to make that extensible. I guess it's not the worst
thing if the set of frequently used known types gets special handling
with the print-dup fallback.

Sure, thanks. It's important that the mechanism preserve the actual
types, so sections like this bit (in emitValue):
if (value instanceof List)
still need refinement.
