This is an old thread but I needed something similar to the original poster
and didn't want to depend on external packages.
A quick and dirty solution can be to save to file with showall and then
eval and parse back in. This works for the built-in data types and for
small data but I'm sure there are many disadvantages... Anyway, I've found
it useful in small scripts that need to save some state between runs. Code
and example below.
Regards,

macro savevars(filename, vars...)
printexprs = map(vars) do var
:(print(f, ";", $(string(var)), " = "); showall(f, $(esc(var))))
end
quote
local f = open($(esc(filename)), "w")
try
$(Expr(:block, printexprs...))
finally
close(f)
end
end
end
a = 1
b = 2.345
c = [1,2,3]
d = {:a => "a", :b => 1, "c" => "arne", "d1" => {1 => 2}}
@savevars("t", a, b, c, d)
function loadvars(filename)
f = open(filename, "r")
try
eval(parse(readall(f)))
finally
close(f)
end
end
a = b = c = d = -1
loadvars("t")
