"""Utilities to enable code objects to be pickled.

Any process that import this module will be able to pickle code objects.  This
includes the func_code attribute of any function.  Once unpickled, new 
functions can be built using new.function(code, globals()).  Eventually
we need to automate all of this so that functions themselves can be pickled.
