Yes, yes, yes... it would be very handy to able to debug saved files
too, and the contents of both are nearly identical. We'd have to deviate
slightly from spec for migration across the wire (for example we could
still fill in section headers and leave the unknown offsets+size as a
special sentinel value or something)
