 We used to have:
 {{{
 sage: F = QQ['t'].construction()[0]
 sage: G = loads(dumps(F))
 sage: G == F
 True
 sage: G.domain() == F.domain()
 False
 sage: G.codomain() is None
 True
 }}}

 In other words, the cdef'd attributes of the construction functor are
 lost.

 I created a generic pickling method for functors, so that it works a lot
 better:
 {{{
 sage: F = QQ['t'].construction()[0]
 sage: G = loads(dumps(F))
 sage: G == F
 True
 sage: G.domain() == F.domain()
 True
 sage: G.codomain() is None
 False
 }}}

 The patch contains two tests, showing that the problem is solved.
