Your clone idea seems, at first read, similar to my reference
suggestion (albeit more elaborated ;).

If I have understood correctly, the "serialized form" is compilable
source code, that includes both original source code in a first part,
with appropriate labels as comments, and a second texmacs part that
references the code snippets in the first part, possibly
re-ordered. When the user opens the LP file in texmacs, he only sees the
re-ordered and literate version. Right?

I like this idea.

Best wishes,
d.
