I think that this assumption should not hold. If we could have a good 
declarative fileout format
(covering GlobalDefinition, ClassDefinition....) this would be great to 
do it the right way. So
may changing a bit the system is not that a problem ;). The chunk 
format is not complete...this is a problem for analyzing code without 
installing it.
