| Here's the sad part: by default, pickles are written in binary format
| so you're going to have a more fun plucking apart the pickle. Pickles
| are essentially little state machines, and the `language' is defined
| in Python's pickle.py module. UTSL is probably going to be your best
| option.
Stuff accumulates in Unpickler().stack, so assuming there's nothing
of interest after the start of invalid data, one could catch the
exception and examine "stack". Beats vi, maybe.
