It also allows code hooks to be run at freeze time - these could make
(additional) references to things already stored.

So, to be as near completely general as possible, no it can't.

(And currently it has no options to turn of generality.

Also I've said previously that rather than adding yet more global variables
to do something like this, I'd like to see a refactor to provide a scalable
and maintainable option-passing system)
