I like the idea of having these functions, but I don't like overloading the argument to a function with "filename or file-like object" as is common in libraries like Pandas. I think there are a few places the standard library does it, but the separation seems better to me.
I don't LOVE the names dumpf() and loadf(), but I don't have an obviously better choice. I guess probably I'd want fromfile() and tofile() as more "modern" names.

Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
