@rxin agree, this is probably not used so much, as it's fairly dependent on
Java serialization. To me the question here is just API consistency. If you're
thinking of it as all but deprecated, then I can see not bothering; otherwise
might be good to add this in (and, perhaps, refactor so there's not a
duplication of code to go along with it.)
