Yes, we already store the entire database structure in the .glom file.
But we like to adapt to any unexpected changes, either because someone
has changed the database without Glom (though we don't support that), or
because we have some error in our code.

Ok. Just so you know it exists, you could add your own data to the meta store's internal database (for example you could store the entire .glom file in it as a text field or a blob).
