Almost. I can deconstruct and reconstruct objects and entire stacks, but ids 
are the Achilles heel here. For some reason object ids are set in stone at 
creation time. This works out ok in most cases, but if you have code that 
references objects by id then the recreation approach won't work because the 
rebuilt objects will almost certainly have different ids from the original 
objects.
