Wrappers created from decorators, such as funclet or genlet, are missing functionality:

Cannot be pickled. The wrappers hide their slaves in the global namespace. This means that wrappers must define how slaves are pickled.
Cannot be set to fork/join. The respective flags are set only on the factory, but are not properly taken over to the resulting chainlet.
Wrappers cannot be introspected properly. They show up only as a generic function.

Marking and pickling is fixed in v1.2.0.
