/**
* Marks an object as streamable, meaning that it can be written to {@link
* ObjectOutputStream} instances and read from {@link ObjectInputStream}
* instances.
*
* <p> All non-<code>transient</code> public fields will be automatically
* written and restored for a {@link Streamable} instance. Classes that
* wish to stream non-public fields or customize the streaming process
* should implement methods with the following signatures:
*
* <p><code>
* public void writeObject ({@link ObjectOutputStream} out);
* public void readObject ({@link ObjectInputStream} in);
* </code>
*
* <p> They can then handle the entirety of the streaming process, or call
* {@link ObjectOutputStream#defaultWriteObject} and {@link
* ObjectInputStream#defaultReadObject} from within their
* <code>writeObject</code> and <code>readObject</code> methods to perform
* the standard streaming in addition to their customized behavior.
