     * Serializable is the base class of objects that can save their state
     * to a file in the block structure of the TSE3MDL specification.
     * Any class that wishes to be able to persist itself needs to implement
     * this interface.
     *
     * @sect Important note
     *
     * The entry point to save/load facilities is the @ref TSE3MDL
     * class, you should use that rather than the @ref Song class's Serializable
     * interface directly.
     *
     * See the @ref TSE3MDL class documentation for more details.
     *
     * @sect File format
     *
     * Data is to be saved in the TSE3MDL file format. Each object will save
     * an amount of data in a block, whose format follows the layout below.
     *
     * <pre>
     *   IDENTIFIER
     *   {
     *       DATA_TAG1:DATA
     *       DATA_TAG2:DATA
     *   }
     * </pre>
     *
     * One data item exists per line. A mechanism exists to determine the
     * number of indentation spaces that precedes each line (it is passed
     * as a parameter to each @ref save() call). There are means to make
     * it easy to produce this indentation (see the @ref indent() method).
     *
     * When parsing the data unrecognised data items should be ignored, and
     * unrecognised chunks shall be skipped.
     *
     * The file format is further described in the HTML documentation that
     * comes with the TSE3 library, in the "doc" directory.
