I'm not sure what that would actually mean. Do you try to construct it
out of code that already exists in the other process? Are you passing
actual code to the other process? Does the callable, when called,
actually execute in the calling process? And what about its context -
its globals, and possibly nonlocals (if it's a closure)?
