I'm not sure what these routines were.  Were they the routines from
database.e that will convert an arbitrary euphoria object into a stream
of bytes?  I don't see any reason why you couldn't store something like
that into MySQL.  They don't really do much in the way of compression,
except that it stores integers in as few bytes as possible.
