-- Serialize an object into a source code string. This string, when passed as
-- an argument to deserialize(), returns an object structurally identical
-- to the original one. The following are currently supported:
-- * strings, numbers, booleans, nil
-- * tables thereof. Tables can have shared part, but can't be recursive yet.
-- Caveat: metatables and environments aren't saved.

-- nest_points are places where a table appears within itself, directly or not.
-- for instance, all of these chunks create nest points in table x:
-- "x = { }; x[x] = 1", "x = { }; x[1] = x", "x = { }; x[1] = { y = { x } }".
-- To handle those, two tables are created by mark_nest_point:
-- * nest_points [parent] associates all keys and values in table parent which
-- create a nest_point with boolean `true'
-- * nest_patches contain a list of { parent, key, value } tuples creating
-- a nest point. They're all dumped after all the other table operations
-- have been performed.
--
-- mark_nest_point (p, k, v) fills tables nest_points and nest_patches with
-- informations required to remember that key/value (k,v) create a nest point
-- in table parent. It also marks `parent' as occuring multiple times, since
-- several references to it will be required in order to patch the nest
-- points.
