/**
* 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> fields will be automatically written and restored for a
* {@link Streamable} instance. Classes that wish to stream transient 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.
