I haven't had a chance to poke around for a good answer, but I can't
stand to see a good question go untouched.
The analogous replacement for TExporter/TImporter is the stuff in the
Croquet-Copier category.
You can also cache whole island's to disk: they store and inflate
pretty fast. Have a look at senders of TIslandController>>snapshot
(my favorite is KController>>doCache:from:) and the implementations
of #install:.
(Eventually, I'm sure that meshes will be stored outside the island
because it's such a good idea, and then there will be a means to (de-)
serialize meshes to/from the cache like TForms are. I figure that
will make use of the copier stuff. But that doesn't exist yet.)
