remotecall_fetch(() -> println("Hello world"), 2)
or
helloworld = () -> println("...")
gets sent properly.
In general a named generic function gets serialized by means of its name
and not body, and that's why you get an undefined value error.
(also you can't just close a named function in a anonymous function, e.g. ()
-> myfun() won't work unless myfun is already available on the remote
process.)
