Mathias, can you elaborate on additional care? We are using the

experiences with it.
There is not much to say. To represent abstract graphs (those were the

Thanks for the detailed description of this issue.

Well, you should have no problem with arrays or hash tables,

Simple answer: yes. Marshal works on the runtime representation of data which
