(Are marshals safer than pickles? What if SerialCookie used marshal instead?)

A bit safer, I think, but this maintains the backward compatibility issue. If it is useful to change the API, this is the best time to do it, but we'd probably want to rename the module as well. Shared maintenance is also an issue -- Tim's opinion is very valuable here!
