No, you persisted the complete state of the object at that time.  It
gets run through Storable.

By the way -- don't do this!  You might lose updates made in the
database between the time you store it and retrieve it.  The best way to
handle this is to put the ID into the session and do a fresh retrieve()
call when you want the object.
