Saving/Restoring history and persistant storage

[Lakedaemon]

It looks to me like History instances can be serialized and unserialized to parcels/bundles but not to String, which is surprising because IMO saving/restoring History to persistant storage should be a pretty common need (say, you want users to be able to find the app in the same state it was before a power down/a previous session)

In addition of StateParceler, Paths could optionaly implement
public interface StateToString {
String wrap(Object instance);
Object unwrap(String sring);
}
which would allow the implementation of 2 utillity methods to serialize/deserialize from String

Also, Gson should already be able to serialize/deserialize simple paths...but those utility methods aren't implemented in the GsonParceler

mmmhhh iterate the History and serialize each entry as an Object...and deserialize a list of Object into an History with a builder

This seems hypothetical and a bit out of scope. Please reopen if you have a concrete need for this capability.
