save to disk in append mode

save is used to store data in a format more directly usable by REBOL, as stated here write has an append mode but it saves data in a raw mode.

My application needs to save a block of data (as a map!) to disk. Each couple of seconds it will generate a new element, up to tens of thousand of elements.

So, my question. I can save the whole data each couple of seconds. But I'd like to know if I can append the new elements to disk using the save command or save format. I guess that I could mimic the save format using the write command in /append mode. Is this the best solution, or is there another one I don't know?

save is a mezzanine function, that is basically write mold. So it's possible to mimic the save function using write or it's possible to update save function to support /append refinement.
