Wow! This looks super cool!

I'm so sad to have missed the Spring Thing.

I wonder if you might entertain some rookie questions with regard to the
way serialisation and deserialisation of procedures works.

 + Does it emit the object code of compiled procedures?
 + What of the execute bit in the OS's page mapping?
 + What happens if that procedure closes over a global variable or
parameter? What value will it take?
 + Does it work between different binaries? As I understand it, the s11n
doesn't work in the general case for this.
 + What of binaries compiled with different Chicken or GCC versions?
 + How does the binding and loading of eggs work?



Thanks for spending the time to create this.
