Glad you like it. It needs more work, mainly support for all data
types. Also I'm not sure about including the serial number since they
are assigned the first time object->serial-number is called and so
technically, just inspecting objects changes state. Maybe this could
be configurable. And, as mentioned in the comments, it should really
use streams when available. Any help with any of this is welcome.

Speaking of streams, is there a way to use Snow modules in Gambit
without all the heavy infrastructure - and if so, is it documented
anywhere? Say in case you wanted to use SRFI-40 on the iPhone where
running Snow binaries is not an option, at least not a convenient one?

I've been using Marc's implementation from
http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Dumping_Grounds#Utilities
.

I'd rather not add a copy to the repository if it can be avoided, how
about mentioning the dependency in the Readme instead?

I noticed that I also forgot to check in my patch for
slime-presentations.lisp, will add that soon.
