Most of my patches are kosher, but I have one patch which could be
controversial and could need some ruby-core smartness.

  Marshal.load(...) { |x| }
  - Which yields every Marshalled value and swaps in the block
    return.

  Marshal.dump(...) { |x| }
  - Which yields every value (previous to dump) and swaps in the
    block's return.

Somehow I need hooks into Marshal.  When pushing data between boxes,
sometimes I am faced with a mix of ref'd and import'd values.  (For
example: an Array of references.)  This is difficult to serialize
currently because the references are completely different on the two
sides of the box.

Good day!
