Oh, that's an issue -- now you've hidden state away in a module, how are we going to get at it to serialise? This is why global state is bad.
If the state was threaded through lambdabot, again, we'd be able to flush it out when restarting.
So now I'm more hesitant about encouraing refs for state -- its inherently going to break serialisation/restart persistence.
There is certainly state that shouldn't be serialized. Mightn't the list of urgent windows fall in this category? -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
