Summary: Add an updating load function in pickle

Initial Comment:
It would be very nice to have a function in pickle to
load an object without creating a new instance, but by
using an existing one, meaning that __init__, etc. of
an existing instance is called.

Something like:
updateload(object, file)

(I have no patch in mind.)

I realize it might not be clear.  What is needed is simply a
function that does the same as pickle.load but that uses an
existing instance instead of creating another one.  All the
rest after that point is the same.  It means this function
would raise an exception if the instance is not of the good
type, etc.  (Forget the part about __init__).
