/**
 * @file saveload.cpp
 * All actions handling saving and loading goes on in this file. The general actions
 * are as follows for saving a game (loading is analogous):
 * <ol>
 * <li>initialize the writer by creating a temporary memory-buffer for it
 * <li>go through all to-be saved elements, each 'chunk' (#ChunkHandler) prefixed by a label
 * <li>use their description array (#SaveLoad) to know what elements to save and in what version
 *    of the game it was active (used when loading)
 * <li>write all data byte-by-byte to the temporary buffer so it is endian-safe
 * <li>when the buffer is full; flush it to the output (eg save to file) (_sl.buf, _sl.bufp, _sl.bufe)
 * <li>repeat this until everything is done, and flush any remaining output to file
 * </ol>
