Pickling of new-style classes is currently done using a Python helper. I am still hoping that I'll be able to dig myself out of the pile of Zope work that I'm currently under, and then I'd like to work on making pickling of new-style classes a lot more efficient. So please don't use this argument to cripple pickle any further.

I'm not a crippled pickle, I'm a crippled pickle's son and I'll be finished crippling pickles when the pickle crippling's done.

Sorry. Been working too hard ...
