I'm all for this, but we'd better get rid of those *.om files first!
At what I believe is a conservative estimate, this would increase their
size (of all of them together) by about 9 Meg, possibly more.  And it
would triple the size of the archetype file, but I can live with that.

What's the story with the .om files, have they been obsoleted yet?
