Read certainly works for vectors.
For records defined with define-type, you will need to set the port's
readtable so that it's sharing-allowed? field is 'serialize. Look at
the examples for the procedure readtable-sharing-allowed?-set. For
serialization/deserialization to work, you will need to specify an id:
for the record type, for example:
(define-type person
id: 00FB6830-D7EC-48E4-9332-94FCD006167B
name
sex
)
Otherwise, the record when read back will not be a "person" of the
same type.
