Understood. Thanks for the clarification.

Pickle manage correctly "same object" references, but not "different
objects but equivalent". That is the issue. But for most uses this is
not a problem, and implementing this redundance removal looks like a
performance cost that few users would benefice from, but everybody
pays. Pickle is already slow enough now :).
