Subject: Shortcomings of SavedVariables
   By recursively iterating over the children of UIParent, I was able to store each element of the UI into a table following the syntax:

table.elements.UIParent.children.childA.children.SubChildA.children...

Unfortunately, when loading the SavedVariables file, WoW throws an error once the structure gets to be 127/128 levels deep. Also, it stops before finishing... the last line is 127/128 levels deep and just "[" .. so it never finishes the work of saving everything.

I'm not going to say anything. :)

There's a 1024 character limit on saved variable names at the moment. I fixed that for 1.10, but there might be something else causing problems as well. Can you post a link to an addon that shows this problem?

   Thanks, this won't crash WoW in 1.10
