That's a bit unfair. Everything IS an object, but not all objects can
be treated the same way. Complex numbers can't be compared for
greater-than/less-than, but they are still first-class objects.

Is it acceptable to you if the reconstituted function doesn't have
source code (which will affect tracebacks and such), as long as it
behaves the same way? If so, save the __code__.co_code attribute, and
build a new function from that.
