I don't think this is flexible enough.  There should be a
__picklefunction__ variable, such that whenever the [r]```expression```
forms are used, it gets called and action is taken depending on its return
value.  If it returns None (default action), then [c]pickle.dumps/loads is
used, but if it returns a string, that is translated into a file object
and passed to [c]pickle.dump/load.
