Hello,

I use server-eval-at to call a function, in another daemon, which
returns a buffer.  So, server-eval-at tries (read "#<buffer *foo*>")
which of course fails, and indeed signals an error.

I wonder if server-eval-at should return a special value to indicate
that the remote computation returned something that is not readably
printable?  Or signal a particular error, which the caller might catch?

Hello,

Now implemented.  Doesn't seem to me like a NEWS entry is warranted, but
if anyone strongly disagrees I can write one.
