On the other hand, object->u8vector and u8vector->object are compatible for types other than procedures and continuations. It is possible to transfer data (even with circularities) between them, so an ad-hoc remote procedure call implementation should not be too difficult to build.

Speaking of this, is there documentation of the format used by object->u8vector and u8vector->object, other than the source code? If I want to use Gambit’s serialization, but also want to implement a strategy for exchanging serialized data with a tool written in something other than Gambit, what’s the best way to understand the format?
