-- Internal persistence library

--[[ Provides ]]
-- persistence.store(path, ...): Stores arbitrary items to the file at the given path
-- persistence.load(path): Loads files that were previously stored with store and returns them

--[[ Limitations ]]
-- Does not export userdata, threads or most function values
-- Function export is not portable
