'marshal' can serialize code objects, but can't do everything 'pickle' can.
'copy_reg' allows you to add the ability to serialize new types of objects
to 'pickle'.  However, I don't think 'copy_reg' allows you to override the
existing mechanism for pickling classes.  You may have to write your own
subclasses of 'pickle.Pickler' and 'pickle.Unpickler'.
