/* Generic Reviver, toJSON, and fromJSON functions used for saving and loading objects */

// A generic "smart reviver" function.
// Looks for object values with a `ctor` property and
// a `data` property. If it finds them, and finds a matching
// constructor that has a `fromJSON` property on it, it hands
// off to that `fromJSON` fuunction, passing in the value.

		typeof value.data !== "undefined") {
			ctor = Reviver.constructors[value.ctor] || window[value.ctor];

				typeof ctor.fromJSON === "function") {

Reviver.constructors = {}; // A list of constructors the smart reviver should know about  

// A generic "toJSON" function that creates the data expected
// by Reviver.
// `ctorName`  The name of the constructor to use to revive it
// `obj`       The object being serialized
// `keys`      (Optional) Array of the properties to serialize,
//             if not given then all of the objects "own" properties
//             that don't have function values will be serialized.
//             (Note: If you list a property in `keys`, it will be serialized
//             regardless of whether it's an "own" property.)
// Returns:    The structure (which will then be turned into a string
//             as part of the JSON.stringify algorithm)

// A generic "fromJSON" function for use with Reviver: Just calls the
// constructor function with no arguments, then applies all of the
// key/value pairs from the raw data to the instance. Only useful for
// constructors that can be reasonably called without arguments!

// `data`      The data to apply
// Returns:    The object
