/**
 * This class allows syncing / serializing data (primarily game savestates)
 * between memory and Read/WriteStreams.
 * It optionally supports versioning the serialized data (client code must
 * use the syncVersion() method for this). This makes it possible to support
 * multiple versions of a savegame format with a single codepath
 *
 * This class was heavily inspired by the save/load code in the SCUMM engine.
 *
 * @todo Maybe rename this to Synchronizer?
 *
 * @todo One feature the SCUMM code has but that is missing here: Support for
 *       syncing arrays of a given type and *fixed* size; and also support
 *       for when the array size changed between versions. Also, support for
 *       2D-arrays.
 *
 * @todo Proper error handling!
