  I changed the example to use a Math::BigInt instead.

  I was thinking about all of this. What Pixie really needs is big collection of Complicity code that can be loaded as and when needed. I was thinking maybe a coderef in @INC to check what modulss are being loaded and to load the associated complicty code at the same time for anything it knows about.

  What do you think?

  At very least, we could do with a web page that has known good, known bad, and known solutions pulished to it.

    I've not really thought about it that hard to be honest. I'm considering adding a Pixie::Memento helper class to the distribution which would at least make the pattern involved explicit.
    
    Of course, if Pixie became ubiquitous it'd be easy -- module authors would simply provide an 'official' px_freeze and px_thaw. Well, a chap can dream can't he?

      How about a global flag that turns off the checks on storing a scalar to make it storable? Users that know what they're doing might be happier with that smaller hoop to jump through. Alternatively, you could look to see if the class that the blessed scalar belongs to has made friends with Dynaloader or Inline::*.

  Once I get back into work on the 3rd I'll get going with another release.
