Fair enough. I might get to it, but it won't be soon...

Indeed :-)

Well, like Shelve.py in the python standard library - I've used that
before to implement a Wiki (which is why I was reminded). Shelve.py is
a general key-vs-object dictionary, backed by a GDBM file containing
serialized/pickled objects.
It's going to be tricky to get Chicken to do the same kinds of thing,
but it'd be *really really useful* if it ever started working - I'm
thinking pickling closures and continuations here. Very difficult :-)
There's a thesis by David Halls that touches on some of the issues - I
really enjoyed reading it, it was very inspirational:
