I understood Jeremy to mean, you need to somehow encode which of the
graphs is 'special' in that it is automatically asserted and tells you
which of the other graphs are; and to suggest that you could express
this in the serialization by taking the graph to be 'auto-asserted' that
comes first in the file.

I don't think Jeremy's saying that the order of the graphs be preserved
and have some meaning after deserialization; rather, the deserialized
information should consist of one asserted graph and a set of other,
not-auto-asserted graphs.
