/**
 * @name Serialization and deserialization
 *
 * Basic classes are the input and output archives. Each of them comes in two flavors: one stores
 * data in a JSON array and the other stores them in a JSON object.
 *
 * The input archive is used to deserialize (ie.e read from the archive, write to a C++ variable),
 * the output archive does the inverse.
 *
 * Input and output archives (that refer to the same JSON type, i.e. @ref JsonArrayInputArchive
 * and @ref JsonArrayOutputArchive) have (nearly) the same interface (mostly the `io` function),
 * they only differ in what the functions do. This is an important design decision, it allows
 * the archive type to be a template parameter. The `io` functions in both archive classes should
 * therefore have a compatible signature.
 *
 * Archive classes also have a `is_input` member type, which is either @ref std::true_type or
 * if(the class is an input archive) or @ref std::false_type (it's an output archive). This can be
 * used to do additional things only after loading the data, but not after storing it.
 *
 * Usage: implement a tempted function `io` in the class that is to be serialized and add a typedef
 *
 *     class MySerializeableType {
 *         ...
 *         template<typename Archive>
 *         void item::io( Archive& archive ) {
 *             archive.io( "member1", member1, default_value_of_member1 );
 *             archive.io( "member2", member2, default_value_of_member2 );
 *             ...
 *         }
 *         using archive_type_tag = io::object_archive_tag;
 *         ...
 *     };
 *
 * The tag types are defined in io_tags.h so that this header need not be
 * included to use them.
 *
 * The function must be declared with the archive type as template parameter, but it can be
 * implemented outside of the header (e.g. in savegame_json.cpp). It will be instantiated with
 * JsonArrayInputArchive and JsonArrayOutputArchive, or with JsonObjectInputArchive and
 * JsonObjectOutputArchive as archive type, depending on the type of the archive_type_tag.
 *
 * Note that the array based archives have a much simpler interface, they only support
 * reading/writing sequentially.
 *
 * The `io` function works for input and output archives. One can call it like this:
 *
 *     item& tmp = ...
 *     JsonOutputArchive out( ... );
 *     tmp.io( out );
 *     JsonInputArchive in( ... );
 *     tmp.io( in );
 *
 * The archive classes use the Json classes (see json.h) to write and read data. This works fine
 * for most built-in types (including string and certain container types). Specific classes, like
 * @ref item or @ref monster, need their own logic. They used to inherit from @ref JsonDeserializer
 * and @ref JsonSerializer, which would grant them functions to serialize/deserialize. The Json
 * classes will automatically use those if available, but they prefer the `io` function.
 *
 * Classes that only use the (templated) `io` function (and which do not inherit from
 * JsonDeserializer and JsonSerializer), must announce that. This allows the Archive classes to
 * avoid calling Json functions, which would not work.
 *
 * If a class only uses the `io` function defined like this:
 *
 *     template<typename Archive> void io( Archive& );
 *
 * It should also have a type tag that indicates 1) the`io` function can be used and 2) whether
 * the data of the class is stored in a JSON array (@ref io::array_archive_tag) or in a
 * JSON object (@ref io::object_archive_tag).
 *
 *     using archive_type_tag = io::object_archive_tag;
 *
 * Note that the *archive_tag structs only need to be forward declared to work in the using
 * statement. One does not need to include "io.h" to allow that statement.
