// VFALCO TODO fix this restriction on copy assignment.
//
// CAUTION: Do not create a vector (or similar container) of any object derived
// from STBase. Use Boost ptr_* containers. The copy assignment operator
// of STBase has semantics that will cause contained types to change
// their names when an object is deleted because copy assignment is used to
// "slide down" the remaining types and this will not copy the field
// name. Changing the copy assignment operator to copy the field name breaks the
// use of copy assignment just to copy values, which is used in the transaction
// engine code.

/** A type which can be exported to a well known binary format.

    A STBase:
        - Always a field
        - Can always go inside an eligible enclosing STBase
            (such as STArray)
        - Has a field name

    Like JSON, a SerializedObject is a basket which has rules
    on what it can hold.

    @note "ST" stands for "Serialized Type."
