I do not know his goal, but look at this:
>> a: context [b: context [c: none]]
>> a/b/c: a/b
>> do load mold a ;it is like save and load
** Script Error: ... has no value
** Near: ...
Why?
>> print mold load mold a
[
make object! [
b:
make object! [
c:
make object! [...]
]
]
]
Reflexions become [...] but Load can't understand them obviously.
Your code (save + load) works only for object without any reflexions.
It is good also for small object collections: think to an object of 1000
item, with 5 internal references for every object, and save will create a
50.000 "make object []" stuff. Too much overhead, i think.
A good function to save and load complex objects tree is welcome.
