the uses i see here are not compelling enough to add this kind of feature.
but, if this could be used for the intermediate representation of the .mod files...
(my memory of the mod files is that they are encoded into a very 'tight' representation and go to and from disk very quickly, but the related symbol table operations make it relatively slow).
perhaps i am missing something here ? are there other uses for the output?
