VarExporter Component
=====================
The VarExporter component allows exporting any serializable PHP data structure to
plain PHP code. While doing so, it preserves all the semantics associated with
the serialization mechanism of PHP (`__wakeup`, `__sleep`, `Serializable`,
`__serialize`, `__unserialize`).
It also provides an instantiator that allows creating and populating objects
without calling their constructor nor any other methods.
The reason to use this component *vs* `serialize()` or
[igbinary](https://github.com/igbinary/igbinary) is performance: thanks to
OPcache, the resulting code is significantly faster and more memory efficient
than using `unserialize()` or `igbinary_unserialize()`.
Unlike `var_export()`, this works on any serializable PHP value.
It also provides a few improvements over `var_export()`/`serialize()`:
* the output is PSR-2 compatible;
* the output can be re-indented without messing up with `\r` or `\n` in the data
* missing classes throw a `ClassNotFoundException` instead of being unserialized to
`PHP_Incomplete_Class` objects;
* references involving `SplObjectStorage`, `ArrayObject` or `ArrayIterator`
instances are preserved;
* `Reflection*`, `IteratorIterator` and `RecursiveIteratorIterator` classes
throw an exception when being serialized (their unserialized version is broken
anyway, see https://bugs.php.net/76737).
