Agreed. Guile 2.2's compiler might be able to do this, with some
modification -- take a closure and tree-shake out its dependencies

In Scheme, procedures are closures, that means it has the code of the
procedure itself as well as the required environment for running that
procedure. And, mostly, continuations are considered closure.
Hence, it is reasonable to expect a way to serialize the closures to
disks and/or remote machine
