Detailed Description

This is the base class for reader/writer objects.

A ReaderWriter's purpose is to provide the means for writing the content of a Value object to a stream and for reading it back. Descendants can either be specialized for just one data type or they can handle several types, that's up to the implementor. A derived class is not required to support all streaming operations (text write, text read, bin write and bin read), it can implement just some of them, although full support is strongly encouraged.
