This file has been removed.  After consideration,
I don't want to create the moral hazard that someone
might distribute automatically executed
malicious code pickled inside a nucular index.
If you grabbed it, please destroy it.
I'm going back to using marshal.  I'd like to thank
Raymond and others for motivating me to think this over.
The possibilities for abuse are astounding.

Honestly, if you download any package containing a
pickle: delete it.
