deserializing and serializing do no use a plain text format. julia> io = IOBuffer() IOBuffer(data=UInt8[...], readable=true, writable=true, seekable=true, append=false, size=0, maxsize=Inf, ptr=1, mark=-1) julia> serialize(io, :(x + 1)) julia> seekstart(io) IOBuffer(data=UInt8[...], readable=true, writable=true, seekable=true, append=false, size=9, maxsize=Inf, ptr=1, mark=-1) julia> deserialize(io) :(x + 1) > > Also, could you give me an example of a situation where the aliasing is an > issue? I'm unclear when that pops up.
