Sometimes it is better to have a pickle to a string, or to a memory area, e.g. in libgap setting, where GAP objects might be parts of a bigger structure that needs to be pickled, e.g. a Python one, cf https://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html
I imagine it should not be too hard to provide, as the existing in IO code surely has all the needed parts available, but is these a chance such a change is accepted and merged?
