The Mjolner BETA System - Distribution - Reference Manual 
[MIA 93-25(1.1) Section 4.11 'Tracing object serializations', 
P. 14]:

   "[...] Most often the error message resulting is 
    'component not handled', that is triggered when 
    trying to pack an active object (i.e. a component)."

Does this mean, that components (= coroutines) and 
remotables (= remotely accessible objects) are incompatible?

Which restrictions exist?

For example, is it possible to (re-)activate a component 
that resides in a different shell or even ensemble?
