Typically what is done is that look-aside metadata is used
to create/interpret the data. Pickling isn't the right thing
to send to C++ if you really want to have the objects once
they're demarshalled to be C++ objects. The better thing to
do is to marshal them into some cross-platform cross-language
marshalling format.
