[Stackless] Problem Unpickling Class

This is an interesting observation. This is an area to
explore. If this is the case, then in a worse case
scenario, I could use reflection and load the
appropriate classes manually.

will not shift to using functions. Better to figure
out how to make this work properly.

As a tangential note, I had read the argument that
"classless" or prototype languages (i.e., Self, Omega)
were better candidates for things like agent mobility.

Cheers,
Andrew
