Is it possible to append serialized elements to an existing archive? I
need to keep a set of records on a file, and periodically add new
entries to it (kind of like a database table). Reading the whole set,
adding the new records, and serializing the set back is not an option
since I expect the set to go pretty big.

I have tried to keep several archives at the same stream (with no_header
and no_tracking flags), but then I don't know how to read them. Reading
them as if they were a single archive does not work, should it?
