+--- **AceSerializer-3.0** can serialize any variable (except functions or userdata) into a string format,
+-- that can be send over the addon comm channel. AceSerializer was designed to keep all data intact, especially 
+-- very large numbers or floating point numbers, and table structures. The only caveat currently is, that multiple
+-- references to the same table will be send individually.
+--
+-- **AceSerializer-3.0** can be embeded into your addon, either explicitly by calling AceSerializer:Embed(MyAddon) or by 
+-- specifying it as an embeded library in your AceAddon. All functions will be available on your addon object
+-- and can be accessed directly, without having to explicitly call AceSerializer itself.\\
+-- It is recommended to embed AceSerializer, otherwise you'll have to specify a custom `self` on all calls you
+-- make into AceSerializer.
