For certain unicode operations I need to store and read a fairly large
amounts of data. Currently I'm using Marshal.dump to generate the data,
but I've got the impression that the Marshal format isn't just
different on different Ruby versions, but also on the various
platforms.
I've tried to use YAML and Ruby source files to store the data, but
this results in very large files and reading them takes forever.
I've also considered install time generation of the data, but that has
some practical problems for distribution.
Is there another marshal format I've missed or is there a better way to
do this?
