If we provide a feature for storing persistent Lisp data, I contend
that the default option should be to store it in a purely textual
file.

Many users will not store large amounts of data, and a textual file
would be much less risk-prone than any other method.

If we decide also to implement the feature of sqlite3 database access,
we could offer the option of storing persistent Lisp data in such a
database.  Users should be able to choose one storage format or the
other for each database.
