	Looking at the current implementation of the Pickler and
Unpickler classes, you'd have to override a *lot* of methods for
XMLPickler, because many methods refer to module-level string
variables containing the type codes.  I asked Guido about this, and he
thought it would be better to write the required marshal or pickle
functionality from scratch in a class of its own.
