Apparently the only way to pickle a string literal is to make a name out
of it, which means about 7% of name weight is due to names like:

use .max instead, where is the sequence for which you want to compute the maximum

Right, that's one "name". And another 10% for every java signature:

HIS NAME IS (Ljava.lang.Class;)TT;
HIS NAME IS (Ljava.lang.Class;)TT;
HIS NAME IS (Ljava.lang.Class;)TT;

Not that I have any reason to believe it's a problem.
