-- "dumping" a map demo 
-- https://openeuphoria.org/forum/137580.wc 
-- 
-- Here is an example of how to save and load objects on disk. The file format 
-- is incredibly simple: we just pretty_print() the key/value for each map on 
-- each line, and then read them back with get(). This creates a human-readable 
-- (and editable!) data storage format. Note that this method only supports 
-- nesting maps at a single level, such as users properties nested by user id.

-- Extend the default pretty_print() format to print huamn 
-- readable strings and skip any newline/indent formatting.

sequence PRETTY_INLINE = PRETTY_DEFAULT 
PRETTY_INLINE[DISPLAY_ASCII] = 2 -- print strings 
PRETTY_INLINE[LINE_BREAKS]   = 0 -- no line breaks

-- Store a sequence of maps by writing each as a sequence 
-- of key/value pairs, separated by newline.

-- e.g. {{"key","value"},{"key","value},...}

		-- get the key/value pairs

		-- GET_NOTHING - result[2] will be zero (so quit!)
