One of my old interests has been storing data as s-expressions. But just
"storing" data is kind of useless, unless you can also search through it,
query it. And, from experience, search/query is mostly useless without
typing. Is `(foo (bar baz))` of type `(surname (given-name occupation))`
or is it `(state (county station))` ? How might one know? I'm not asking
for help here (I have de facto answers to these questions) I'm just ..
offering something to think about.
