+/// Intermediate representation of a serializable value.
+///
+/// Serializable values are
+///    * [bool],
+///    * [int],
+///    * [double],
+///    * [String],
+///    * enum values,
+///    * [ConstantExpression],
+///    * [DartType],
+///    * [Element],
+///    * [Uri],
+///    * lists of serializeable values,
+///    * maps from arbitrary strings to serializable values; these are called
+///         `Map` values, and
+///    * maps from [Key] to serializable values; these are called `Object`
+///         values.
+///
+/// The distinction between map and object values is chosen to provide a more
+/// robust and checkable implementation of the latter; since the keys are drawn
+/// from a fixed typed set of values, consistency between serialization and
+/// deserialization is easierly maintained.
