[inline]

Top-level packing interface, to be used in the "serialize" function of your classes. Applies the serializer to one object resp. an array of objects (e.g. packing them into the serializer or unpacking them from the serializer). Dispatches w.r.t. the packing category of the object's type (i.e. byte-wise copying or object serialization).
