[erlang-questions] Copy function from one Module to another

[Tyron Zerafa]

I want to implement code migration where a user just will be able to call
migrate(RemoteNode, Fun) and that local fun will end up on the RemoteNode.
Thus this needs to be generic. I cannot assume that:
1) All functions within the module are going to be used - transferring code
which will not be used will result in useless bandwidth costs.
2) All functions required are within a single module

I was going to perform a static analysis of the function to be migrated and
transfer only the functions it depends on.
