That would make sense.

This dep is necessary only if Prefs KNOWS it's loadable and saveable :). 
Using SIO this can be done transparently, so it doesn't need to 
know :) :). That allows the clients to save it using the default SIO 
proxy or they can use their own algorithm:

P::SIO::save( myprefs, file|stream );

or mySpecialSavePrefs( prefs, file|stream );

Keep the container types free of deps on i/o. They are containers, not 
stream marshallers.
