Out of curiousity, how critical is it to support protocols 0 and 1? I've made sure SimpleNamespace does, but it made me wonder what the use case is for the older protocols. Not critical at all. It's just nice to have for consistency, but it shouldn't stop you if it's too difficult to implement.

Although in such cases, we probably want to test we generate a reasonable error message for the unsupported protocols, rather than silently writing junk to the pickle.

Cheers, Nick.
