That and the consensus expressed in other emails in this tread that  
the definition of state is subjective might be good reasons for not  
implementing state saving? Ie.: We want to save different things, and  
we can, isn't that enough?

Another thing related to this; i don't understand why it is so  
important to bundle "things" into one file? The freedom that resides  
in modularity i (at least) hold quite dear.
