java:jinterface-implementation: multiple interfaces?

[Alessio Stalla]

You may have luck by providing a list. However, I see a deeper problem.
Serializable is a marker interface: it has no methods, it only declares the
type serializable. However, you cannot just declare that an object is
serializable to make it so; all its components must be serializable as
well. This includes the invocation handler that ABCL creates under the
cover, as well as all the Lisp objects that you use for the implementation,
particularly functions and closures. And, bad news – those aren't
serializable. So, if Serializable is a requirement because those instances
will effectively be serialized – e.g., to persist them to a file or to send
them over the network – you're out of luck.

Ages ago I had started a branch to make most Lisp objects serializable, but
I don't remember how far I got. I don't think it was ever mature enough to
be merged, but many years have passed.
