I actually aim for something that understands all non-expression constants that you can use in the Pike language, as well as the output of sprintf %O on constants that aren't objects, functions or programs.
The first almost gives the second. I believe it's only the possibility of recursive datatypes in the latter that has to expand the functionality.

But sprintf won't produce 'x', so you are not aiming (exactly) for a reversed sprintf("%O"). I think you should.
