/**
* @file Serialize.h
*
* This file contains primitive to make serialization and
* deserialization easy.
*
* See the example code snippet below.
*
* @code
* # include <eoSerial.h>
* # include <string>
*
* class MyObject: public eoserial::Persistent
* {
* public:
*
* int value;
* MyObject( int v ) : value(v) {}
*
* eoserial::Object* pack() const
* {
* eoserial::Object* e = new eoserial::Object;
* (*e)["the_value"] = eoserial::serialize( value );
* return e;
* }
*
* void unpack( const eoserial::Object* o )
* {
* eoserial::deserialize( *o, "the_value", value );
* }
* };
*
* int main()
* {
* eoserial::Object o;
* o["long"] = eoserial::serialize(123456L);
* o["bool"] = eoserial::serialize(true);
* o["double"] = eoserial::serialize(3.141592653);
* o["float"] = eoserial::serialize(3.141592653f);
*
* std::string str = "Hello, world!";
* o["str"] = eoserial::serialize( str );
*
* MyObject obj(42);
* o["obj"] = eoserial::serialize( obj );
*
* std::vector<int> vec;
* vec.push_back(1);
* vec.push_back(3);
* vec.push_back(3);
* vec.push_back(7);
* o["vec"] = eoserial::serialize( vec );
*
* o.print( std::cout );
*
* std::list<int> lis;
* eoserial::deserialize( o, "vec", lis );
*
* long oneTwoThreeFourFiveSix;
* eoserial::deserialize( o, "long", oneTwoThreeFourFiveSix);
*
* return 0;
* }
* @endcode
*
* @todo Encapsulate private functions. As of today (2013-03-19), it is not
* possible as GCC and Clang refuse to have std::vector specializations of template methods (while it works with
* functions).
*
* @todo Comments coming soon.
