I'm thinking of different solution.  new (possible) _dump would
receive dumper object

  def _dump(dumper)
     ... operation specific to your class ...
     dumper.push(self)
  end

The problem is I have to choose names for new _dump, dumper class and
undumper class.  It's always hard to choose good names.
