Persistent memoized functions

Question

I'm inspired to make use of "remembering the function values" technique from here: Functions that remember their values

The only question is: how can I save the function, along with its values stored as well, into some kind of file, so that next time when I load the file, i.e., the function into Mathematica, I can access all the values I stored last time.

I think that's what DumpSave is for. Note however that DumpSave creates a .mx file, which to my understanding is a file format that isn't very cross-platform (and maybe even cross-version) compatible. — march, Aug 08 '16 at 23:00
Save also will work. All this is described in my own answer (2008) for which I would consider this question "already has an answer" (i.e. duplicate) but I do not wish to vote alone. — Mr.Wizard, Aug 09 '16 at 00:01

DynamicModule[{x,y, ...]},expr] represents an object which maintains the same local instance of the symbols x, y, ...] in the course of all evaluations of Dynamic objects in expr. Symbols specified in a DynamicModule will by default have their values maintained even across Wolfram System sessions.

I don't think DynamicModule is meant for this purpose ... – Szabolcs Aug 09 '16 at 11:08
