[ruby-core:41943] Re: feature request: marshallable proc's

I found this library
(ruby-internal)[http://rubystuff.org/ruby-internal/] that can
supposedly marshal procs and classes in both MRI and YARV. It was in
the comments on [yehuda's
blog](http://yehudakatz.com/2011/11/19/how-to-marshal-procs-using-rubinius/=
)
about marshaling procs with rubinius.
