I was planning to add (if Sven doesn't object) some
sort of unbound slot handling (since I would expect
unbound slots to remain unbound after unserialization,
and currently the serialization code just dies if a
slot is unbound.

So I agree that something needs to be done about
unbound slots, but I don't agree that ignoring them
is the best solution.
