I would like to keep a elisp list between sessions.
What is the correct way of storing it? so that i don't have to parse it line
by line.
How can i save it as a list and evaluate the file after opening?

As far as I know, there is no complete library for this.

But look at what `recentf-save-list' in recentf.el does.
The list still has do be parsed, but `load' can take care of it.

recentf-save-list uses recentf-dump-variable, which uses insert.

Does anyone know why recentf-dump-variable doesn't use print?
