data.dump/restore uses the internal representation of S objects. You
need to go via the `outside world' text representation, that is use
dump and source. The R equivalents of data.dump/restore are save/load,
again for R's use only.
In any case, you will probably need to do _some_ editing of the objects,
especially functions.
