Description

The Lucy_Obj_Dump() method creates a JSON-izable data structure from an
object; Load() takes the output of Dump() and builds an object from it.
Classes which implement Dump() and Load have the attribute "dumpable".

If a class declares that it has the attribute "dumpable", but does not declare
either Dump() or Load(), Boilerplater::Dumpable will attempt to auto-generate
those methods if methods inherited from the parent class do not suffice.

class Foo::Bar extends Foo : dumpable {
    Thing *thing;

    public inert incremented Bar*
    new();

    void
    Destroy(Bar *self);
}
