Does SRFI-10 keep identity?
In other words, how can it handle this: (let ([x (cons 1 1)]) (cons x x))

OK, it seems s11n is easier for my purpose.
Although I still do not understand the internals of s11n,
my proposal is to allow deserialize to have an optional
fallback deserializer, just like serialize has an optional
fallbak serializer; why not?
