* Versions (not applicable to Persister version): Either an integer or non-existent (already interned/cached). When WorldsPlayer tries to retrieve a version, it uses a "cookie", usually but not necessarily corresponding to a class. If that cookie has been used to retrieve a version before, the next time a version corresponding to that cookie is read, it will always be the same version. That is, if the first Room was read as version 3 (hypothetically), the next Room will also be version 3, without another indication directly in the file. * "Version for X" (not applicable to Persister version): If a "Version for X" has already been seen, it is omitted. Otherwise, it is read as an integer. Note that X is usually, but not always, a class.
