Description
Bit of a strange request, but there is a use case. A minimal example is:
```python
import pickle
from juliacall import Base
pickle.dumps(Base)
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "", line 1, in
# TypeError: cannot pickle 'juliacall.ModuleValue' object
```
This would be useful for defining functions that are passed around in Python. I initially ran into this when using ray, so a slightly more complex example that has the same behaviour:
```python
import ray
ray.init()
from juliacall import Base
@ray.remote
def v(x):
Base.println(x)
x = ray.get(v.remote(1))
```
I had a look at PyCall as well, but they've got a similar issue here https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/issues/863, with a few comments on how to fix it.
Any ideas? I'll try to have a look into this further, but any help getting this working would be appreciated.
