//serializer: a class designed to save and restore the state of classes.
//
//benefits:
//- data() will be portable in size (it is not necessary to specify type sizes.)
//- data() will be portable in endianness (always stored internally as little-endian.)
//- one serialize function can both save and restore class states.
//
//caveats:
//- only plain-old-data can be stored. complex classes must provide serialize(serializer&);
//- floating-point usage is not portable across different implementations
