But that's a crummy name for it, unix legacy not withstanding.

Is someone working on an RFC?  IIRC, it would propose that the entire
state of the interpreter can be marshalled and unmarshalled, providing
both a checkpointing capability and code mobility.

Optionally the marshall will include only the explicitly given structures
(subroutines, variables); or perhaps only a selected subset of interpreter
state (code, data).
