True, backup gives you most of the data, but it doesn't give you the
bayes stats like --dump data does.  This can be useful for folks who
are interested in that sort of thing, see below.

The conversion to binary, fixed length token keys was a HUGE win in
performance.  A large effort was made to add the option (for those who
didn't care about performance) to store the raw token value in the
database (sorry I don't have the bug number in front of me).  The sum
total of that work was that adding even the option of storing the raw
token value was a performance hit and when posed to the user community
there was very little call for this.  However, as a sort of compromise
for any future requests for this sort of data several hooks where
added to the Plugin API that allow you to get at the raw token data.
This allows you to create a plugin to fetch this data.  The plan, in
some future version is to expand the Plugin API to allow for something
to happen in the dump (or better named) method.

This is on the todo list for some future version of SA, so I'm closing
this bug as invalid.
