Before I say Raymond's mail, I had not heard about )savesystem. So I grepped the sources and found it in src/etc/summary. Yes, exactly, It's not mentioned anywhere. Also hyperdoc doesn't know about it and I cannot find it in The Book (not even in the printed version). That means, I wouldn't miss )savesystem and I guess, nobody else will miss it, because it was only visible via )summary. )savesystem somehow reminds me of what Sage has. I haven't looked into the details, but their seems to be a "pickle.jar" that stores precomputed data in a form that can easily be loaded into python. Having a binary form could be useful, if a user wants to load several MB of precomputed stuff, but if savesystem basically only saves the state of which packages/domains had been loaded before, then it's pretty useless nowadays. Anyway, with an eye towards making FriCAS relying less on an underlying LISP system, I am rather in favour of removing )savesystem. More opinions?
