Ok, I'm not sure about how dumping works, but the patterns that you store
are backend specific. Does the dumper take that into account?

I just thought that the change decoupled and simplified the code, but I can
always add an initialization step to the rif, previous to the definition of
the actual bitmaps used by the backend.
