+ *  Flattening is straight-forward:
+ *      1. call getFactory() so we have a function-ptr to recreate the subclass
+ *      2. call flatten(buffer) to write out enough data for the factory to read
+ *
+ *  Unflattening is easy for the caller: new_instance = factory(buffer)
+ *
+ *  The complexity of supporting this is as follows.
+ *
+ *  If your subclass wants to control unflattening, use this macro in your declaration:
+ *      SK_DECLARE_PUBLIC_FLATTENABLE_DESERIALIZATION_PROCS
+ *  This will provide a getFactory(), and require that the subclass implements CreateProc.
+ *
+ *  For older buffers (before the DEEPFLATTENING change, the macros below declare
+ *  a thin factory DeepCreateProc. It checks the version of the buffer, and if it is pre-deep,
+ *  then it calls through to a (usually protected) constructor, passing the buffer.
+ *  If the buffer is newer, then it directly calls the "real" factory: CreateProc.
