Description

Continuing from #3602, load_store and dump_to_store look like they are old and unmaintained functions:

  • load_store is referenced once in api.rst (I assume the reference to from_store was to load_store), but never tested, used or mentioned anywhere else
  • dump_to_store is tested (and probably used), but never mentioned except from the section on backends

what should we do with these? Are they obsolete and should be removed or just unmaintained (then we should properly document and test them).

Research direction

Read #3602 and the api.rst reference, then inspect the backend section and the existing tests for dump_to_store; also check whether load_store has any coverage or uses. Done requires deciding whether both functions are obsolete or should remain, and then defining the corresponding removal or documentation and testing work.
