That's Marshal or so, right? For Felix, caching just integers and
strings on disk shouldn't be too hard.

To make this more general is a bit harder, yes: you'd need the rtti
to contain functions to stream and unstream data. You could use

type fred = "someCtype" with stream_out = "m($1)" with stream_in = "..."

and then get the compiler to generate these for composites.
Pointers would be nasty though .. :)
