Pickling is serialization of Python objects from within Python code;
what I'm talking about is pickling the thread state itself.

Pickling thread state in Stackless is announced as "possible in
the future" and "coming really soon" by Tismer, the author of Stackless,
on several occasions.

What do you do for serializing the scripting environment state?
