Serialization API
=============
This module provides simple value serialization.

- `serialization.serialize(value: any except functions[, pretty:boolean/number]): string`  
  Generates a string from an object that can be parsed again using `serialization.unserialize`. The generated output is Lua code. Supports basic types (nil, boolean, number, string) and tables without cycles (will error out when cycles are detected, unless in `pretty` print mode). Properly handles NaN values and infinity.  
  The `pretty` mode can be used to generate output for display to the user, this output will in most circumstances not be readable with `serialization.unserialize`.
  
  The value of pretty defines the number of entries that will be printed.  
  If pretty is set to true it will by default print 10 entries.
  
  This function can be useful for sending messages via a network card.
- `serialization.unserialize(value: string): any`  
  Restores an object previously saved with `serialization.serialize`.
