Sorry, it looks like I jumped to a completely unwarranted

conclusion by assuming that dictionaries were responsible.

There is *something* in my pickle that the unpickler
doesn't like, however. It's a pickled Plex Lexicon,
and it's rather big (too big to post here, anyway).
I'll do some more investigation and try to narrow
it down.

Anyway, what I mainly wanted to find out is whether
the binary format *should* be able to handle everything
that the non-binary format can. I take it the answer
to that is "yes"?
