So what's the recommended way to serialize, then?  It used to be that
binding *print-dup* to true was the recommended way, but last I checked,
that technique didn't work for things like records.

Remember, it's not just about serializing an individual record, it's about
serializing an arbitrary piece of Clojure data, which might be an aggregate
of a record inside a map inside a vector with metadata, for example.

I got the impression that things regarding serialization were in flux, with
new constructs like records not supporting the old way of doing things, but
not everything converted into the "new way" whatever that is.

If I'm wrong, and this is all now resolved, I'd love to hear about it.
