   This is an interesting idea. Lambda has a nice feature of being able to create functions from an S3 file containing the source zip, which means you don't have to upload the same code for each different function. Not having something can make deployments unnecessarily long on OpenWhisk when you have a large app with dozens of functions and large action packages.
   
   If this was available - I wonder if there's a way to define an "action clone" which is like a sym-link to another action with a different "main" parameter (defined at create time)? It would allow us to upload the action package once and then create sym-links for all the other actions. This would dramatically speed up deployments and reduce the amount of code needed to store in the backend.
