Research direction

Open src/object/pickle_support.cpp at line 33 and compare the existing pickle reference with the proposed Boost documentation URL. Done means the error message points to a current, working reference link.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This link seems to be throwing a 404: https://github.com/boostorg/python/blob/f5d14ef15e98838b3cf18692d46c481287ed50d0/src/object/pickle_support.cpp#L33

Should it point to https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_78_0/libs/python/doc/html/reference/topics/pickle_support.html?

I'm not familiar with Boost, I just noticed this link on a topic in the Dask Discourse forum. Please point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong place. :)
