// This class encapsulates a var so that we can serialize and deserialize it.
// The problem is that for strings, serialization and deserialization requires
// knowledge from outside about how to get at or create a string. So this
// object groups the var with a dispatcher so that string values can be set or
// gotten.
//
// Declare IPC messages as using this type, but don't use it directly (it has
// no useful public methods). Instead, instantiate one of the helper classes
// below which are conveniently named for each use case to prevent screwups.
//
// Design background
// -----------------
// This is sadly super complicated. The IPC system needs a consistent type to
// use for sending and receiving vars (this is a SerializedVar). But there are
// different combinations of reference counting for sending and receiving
// objects and for dealing with strings
//
// This makes SerializedVar complicated and easy to mess up. To make it
// reasonable to use, all functions are protected and there are use-specific
// classes that each encapsulate exactly one type of use in a way that typically
// won't compile if you do the wrong thing.
//
// The IPC system is designed to pass things around and will make copies in
// some cases, so our system must be designed so that this stuff will work.
// This is challenging when the SerializedVar must do some cleanup after the
// message is sent. To work around this, we create an inner class using a
// linked_ptr so all copies of a SerializedVar can share and we can guarantee
// that the actual data will get cleaned up on shutdown.
//
// Constness
// ---------
// SerializedVar basically doesn't support const. Everything is mutable and
// most functions are declared const. This unfortunateness is because of the
// way the IPC system works. When deserializing, it will have a const
// SerializedVar in a Tuple and this will be given to the function. We kind of
// want to modify that to convert strings and do refcounting.
//
// The helper classes used for accessing the SerializedVar have more reasonable
// behavior and will enforce that you don't do stupid things.
