  \begin{funcdesc}{pickle}{type, function\optional{, constructor}}
    Declares that \var{function} should be used as a ``reduction''
!   function for objects of type or class \var{type}.  \var{function}
!   should return either a string or a tuple.  The optional
!   \var{constructor} parameter, if provided, is a callable object which
!   can be used to reconstruct the object when called with the tuple of
!   arguments returned by \var{function} at pickling time.
