However, MC does not use image segments or that, but just a data  
stream, which is the simplest of the binary serialization methods.

yes.

You could comment that out. However, loading will be much slower as  
the source code (source.st) will be parsed into an MCSnapshot  
instance. The binary snapshot contains this MCSnapshot instance,  
nothing more.
