Even if you put them on a new line, that line takes space. If it is a database entry, there is the relation overhead of the set pointer. If it is a binary string, we must mark it with some kind of unique delimiter. In any case, more space will be lost due to that. However, it may be possible to renumber in such a way that each representation is unique. [snip]
