/** @file skeleton_and_content.hpp
 *
 *  This header provides facilities that allow the structure of data
 *  types (called the "skeleton") to be transmitted and received
 *  separately from the content stored in those data types. These
 *  facilities are useful when the data in a stable data structure
 *  (e.g., a mesh or a graph) will need to be transmitted
 *  repeatedly. In this case, transmitting the skeleton only once
 *  saves both communication effort (it need not be sent again) and
 *  local computation (serialization need only be performed once for
 *  the content).
