Be our guest, but you're not going to enjoy the ride. Buffer has a
lot of other object types linked to it (if you dump object x, you must
be able to dump every object x has a reference to), and in particular
I suspect you don't want to go anywhere near console, frame or device.
They are linked to system thingies, and more importantly they are
recreated at startup.
I'd suspect extent-info links to the underlying buffer too.
