Subject: Added explicit pickle test and fixed curve.Data pickling.
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e1509d8fa1ff8f04cee628664c96bcc141edbc9;p=hooke.git

Added explicit pickle test and fixed curve.Data pickling.

I missunderstood how __reduce__ worked the first time.  Now there's a
doctest proving it works ;).
