What I'm trying to do is actually to replace my own serialization-code 
in cl-pile with cl-store, since cl-store is more comprehensive, faster, 
better tested and documented. :)

cl-pile is an implementation of the prevalance [1] idea, with some MOP 
extensions for giving classes, objects and slots things like title, 
description, creation-date etc.

If the experiment of using cl-store for the serialization-layer, I'll 
try to seperate out the prevalence-parts of it, and let you look at it, 
to see if it's of interest.
