On the other hand, a good AI might not suffer too much if it had its
state wiped -- it should be able to gradually recreate it.

For example, if I aitoggle into an AI, it should be able to
cope. Similarly, if an AI lost its state on a reload of a saved game,
it should cope.

(This is not to say that it wouldn't be useful to be able to save state)
