I don't think it is that simple. There are several save formats, some
historical that no one wants to touch. So suppose we confined it to the
current format. Then one would need a pass over the saved file to see
what (e.g. namespaces) should be shared and to find the existing
references, so I don't think it would actually save anything much.
(If you want to work out if shared can be skipped, the code is in
serialize.c ....)
