No, you need to have a slice do the loading. Here's some code to save
and then reload a snapshot:
"Create a working copy and repository"
wc := MDWorkingCopy forImageProxy: MDWorkingCopy defaultImageProxy.
memory := MDMemoryRepository new.
"Create a slice"
slice := MDPackageInfoSlice named: 'Refactory'.
"Save it"
snapshot := slice saveFrom: wc to: memory.
"Load it"
slice load: snapshot from: memory to: wc.

Right. That's why you need the slice. It knows what elements in the
image belong to the slice, so it can compare with the snapshot to see
what should be removed.
