This can of course be done. A little more structure will be
necessary to register a particular interpreter for pickling.
Continuation objects would need to learn how to save their
state as well. If there is interest, I will look into it.

Not so clear at the moment is how I would deal with real threads,
so this issue might be a little harder to solve.
