Yes it works that way.

Now pyon can't dump any recursive object. It can dump recursive lists
and tuples now.
I also going to add support for recursive dicts, and then for other objects.

pyon.dumps(obj, fast=False; this mode similar to pickle's fast mode)
produce a following text:
_p__0=[1,2]
[_p__0,_p__0]

pyon.dumps(obj) (i.e. fast=False) produce a following text:
[[1,2],[1,2]]
