+//   Persistence for pointers to persistent objects
+
+//   Warning! The pointer must be a dynamically-allocated type, since the
+//   implementation uses new/delete
+
+//   Multiple pointers to the same object *will* be restored as multiple pointers
+//   to the same object. The object is dumped only the first time it is
+//   encountered along with a "magic key". Subsequent pointers to the same object
+//   cause only the magic key to be dumped. On restore, the object is only
+//   restored once and the magic keys are matched up so that the other pointers
+//   now point to the restored object.
+
+//   Supports null pointers too! If the data field to restore is null and the
+//   file format non-null, allocates a new T(). If the data field is non-null and
+//   the file format is null, deletes it and sets it null
