	description: "[
		Serialize/Deserialize data from memory.
		
		Given a memory area referenced by MANAGED_POINTER, store/retrieve data from 
		memory. Initially memory is read from the first byte unless changed via set_position.
		
		After the first store/retrieve operation, count is set to the position of the last
		written/read bytes. If you haven't set an initial position via set_position, it is
		also the number of bytes written/read, otherwise the number of bytes read is
		count - initial_position.
