Warning!  Not a guru!  Note in particular that I don't know
whether it is correct that all things pickleable should be
copyable, and whether this is a bug may depend on that.

It isn't.  Just be sure to include a short bit of code that
illustrates the problem, and what you think that code ought to do
that it isn't doing.

(Perhaps the simplest example failure is
    >>> import copy
    >>> copy.deepcopy(max)
while
    >>> import pickle
    >>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(max))
succeeds.)
