Yep I have no problem to allocate a SEP for that, vec2var / var2vec might be used elsewhere but the format need to be documented for all managed types. Handle, for example, will probably not be stored at first. A SEP might even be good to define the real need for that "a Scilab variable dump for cheap and fast access" and to clearly state that this encoding might change across OS, hardware or Scilab versions.

Are you interested in writing it ?  

Thanks,
