A few options...

Instead of a procedure like "algorithm->list" for each struct, what 
about defining "prop:custom-write" for each struct?

For implementing the writing for each struct, you could use a macro that 
expands to both a definition of the struct and its custom writer.

For reading, a few alternatives, which could work with almost the same 
human-readable data write format: (1) extend the Racket reader to read 
your struct format; (2) implement your own reader; (3) load the written 
data as code.
