This is a legacy component that plays very nicely with BDB. It should
be possible to abstract over buffer-streams so you could put a
different serializer in place for, say, a lisp-only backend. I
haven't been highly motivated to do this yet given there hasn't been a
driver for it. Do you have a reason, other than good code hygiene,
for having such an abstraction?
It will have to be done eventually whenever we get to a proper lisp
backend, but I'd need a pretty compelling argument to put my own time
into this anytime soon. I'm happy to review a patch however! :)
Thanks,
Ian

The buffer stream type provided by the memutil module is an essential

a more portable way?
