That's what the code currently already does. But: See what I wrote
about the purpose of the patch: our saving code needs to modify how
elements in the hash table are printed. The Lisp printer doesn't allow
that per se. My suggested patch substitutes a very inefficient hack
with a more efficient hack. The current code uses printing + re-reading
AFAIR - and that on nested hash tables.
I thought long about removing the need for this hack altogehter, but
this is very complicated, if not impossible (yes, you would need to
change the printer).
Michael.
