+object of the class to a JSON string.  The JSON created from an instance should
+round trip to a new instance with the same values for the @quot{public
+attributes}.  @quot{Private} attributes (that is ones without accessors,) will
+be ignored for both serialisation and de-serialisation.  The exact behaviour
+depends on that of @code{JSON::Marshal} and @code{JSON::Unmarshal} respectively.")
