??? AFAICT, the answer to the question is "No".

Applications and libraries that use ALLOCATEd memory that are, like
OBJECTS.FS, designed to provide fundamental semantics that one would
wish to have in a system that has been saved and reloaded, should
provide a means to serialize any information required from memory that
they have ALLOCATEd so that they are able to restore it from its
serialized form.

IOW, the answer is option four, applications and libraries that use
ALLOCATEd memory should provide the capability to save and restore it
to users and applications that may wish or need to do so.
