I should have been somewhat clearer, sorry :).  The code is part of the package
but its not a kfun (which is why its in the efun directory).  It got into the
package 'cos its useful to be able to store mappings and arrays in a unix
dbm style database and to do so you must convert them to strings :).

It actually sounds like your code is the way to go Jason, since its tested
and working!
