Mark can speak for himself,  but I think things are tending towards masks.
They have the advantage of one implementation for all data types, current
and future, and they are more flexible since the masked data can be actual
valid data that you just choose to ignore for experimental  reasons.

What might be helpful is a routine to import/export R files, but that
shouldn't be to difficult to implement.
