We have limited support for mutable data; however, if you have an
immutable data structure, you can encode it as a a string, and then

There is a rudimentary HOWTO on the website (in signature), and
there have been suggestions posted to the mailing list in the past.
Perhaps others can point to sample code that they have written
as well.
