Just for uniformity with the codeobject.  The OP had specified that
the incoming code "might be" compiled (implying it might also not be),
and pickle (or marshal, etc) is one simple way to let either source
code _or_ a codeobject be treated the same way on arrival (unpickle,
or unmarshal, then exec whatever has arrived).
