Alternative to #1083
Based on @mrocklin's suggestion of (ab)using pickle.
The good news is that this version can handle many more types out of the box (no datetime64 or timedelta64, though), and I don't need to do anything special for all of my other special array types further away from netCDF files.
cc @pwolfram -- maybe you'll have more luck with this version?
