It would be nice to know if anyone plans to start tackling this soon so
others don't
waste time. Whoever it may be, please notify p6i beforehand so others know
whether to bother or not, rather than submitting the monster stealth patch
that
happens often. Or commit incrementally so we can follow and critique. :)

Subject: Re: Object freezing
Note that I forgot to account for the possibility of freezing code and
environment. As such, the freeze and thaw opcodes have the following
variant:
freeze Sx, Py, Iz
thaw Py, Sx, Iz
where Z is the freeze/thaw level. O (the default) is the PMC only, 1
includes the global/class data for the PMC, and 2 includes the code for
the packages for the PMC, pruned for accessibility.
Also note that if teh PMC being frozen is a closure or continuation, then
all lexical and global data to reinstantiate the PMC (including
potentially code) will be frozen at level 0.
