Actually, I have a vague nagging memory to the effect that
it used to be possible to do that.  We've been thru a number
of cycles of "what can we do about the long time it takes=20
to read in symbols?"  Seems like one attempt was to read them
in once and then save them, so you could get them more-or-less
instantly on subsequent sessions.
