Hi, I wanted to serialise functions and send them over the network. The problem with serializable-fn is that it doesn't capture closures. I wrote some code which re-programmed the fn macro to capture the closures as well as the actual function form, and attach them as meta-data also on the actual function object. I could share this code if people would find this useful. Its non-trivial due to various complexities and bugs in Clojure.
Also it bothers me that (= (partial * 2) (partial * 2)) is false. Logically it shouldn't be right? If we captured the function forms, that would enable better equality for functions.
