/** @file
	The paging file format is a composite one - a single file / stream can contain
	data which is not necessarily all read by a single class. Instead, data
	chunks can be read by different classes, allowing the format to be extended to
	different types smoothly.
	@par
	Paging world files have by default an extension ".world", but that is not
	a requirement. Internally, the only thing that matters is the data chunks
	and their identifiers, which are 4-character codes embedded in a uint32 as
	calculated by StreamSerialiser::makeIdentifier. All data will be read and 
	written using DataStream and the StreamSerialiser class. 
	@par
	Data types are expressed at the lowest level exposed by the StreamSerialiser class, 
	which is used to read / write this file.
