object <-storage_reference: -> any

This method is used by object->save_in_file to handle shared object resources (colours, fonts, etc.). If this method is executed successfully, object->save_in_file stores the classname of the the object and the returned object.

source_sink<-object loads the classname, converts the classname to a type object, loads the returned reference object and attempts type<-check to produce an object of the requested type.

See colour<-storage_reference for an example.
