Does this really enable long-term storage? Is it the case that I can serialize with one version of Julia and then deserialize with another? |

| For emphemeral storage of Dynamic Traces, `Serialization.jl` works well. For long term storage, however, you will likely run into issues using `Serialization.jl` since traces internally track function pointers (recall `Trace`s may contain function pointers). For this, you can try the experiemental [`GenSerialization.jl`](https://github.com/probcomp/GenSerialization.jl) which still uses `Serialization.jl` but can properly discard function call data. | |||

| The same generative function used to save out the trace must be defined at runtime before deserialization. | ||
