Ok, you are right. I'm looking again from the cross-platform view. Sixx is changed to support blocks (in gemstone at least). It may not support all kind of blocks but basic ones it does. The rest is like CompiledMethods. AFAIK there is no cross-platform format for things like CompiledMethod so there is less chance to have something reliable. I try to be pragmatic and from this point of view the support is quite sufficient.
