Yes, pickling it is.  I call it serialization, but having just started learning Python, pickling works, too.  As I stated earlier, standard objects work just fine when using Object.factory() or ClassInfo.find().create().  It's template  classes that are the issue.  Either method returns null.  I think it has something to do with the ClassInfo.name for the templated class.

class MyDict(T) : ISerial
{
    T[char[]] dict;
    void load(InStream s);
    void save(OutStream s);
}

MyDict!(int).classinfo.name == "MyDict!(int).MyDict"; // Why the extra .MyDict appended to the end??
