Nice. Thanks Juan. I was checking your code, and that's exactly why I asked
Eliot. In your method you say:

isClean
    "A clean closure is one that doesn't really need the home context
because:
        - It doesn't send messages to self or super
        - It doesn't access any instance variable
        - It doesn't access any outer temp
        - It doesn't do ^ return"
.....

So... my question is, WHAT do I need to serialize if I want to be able to
serialize also "non clean". I mean, for each item on that list, what do I
need apart from the closure instance and the receiver and method from the
outerContext ?  the whole stack of contexts ?


Thanks a lot in advance!
