Additional Notes
- restore - Table representing internal restore functions. You should use the restore table that is passed by the engine to your hooked restore function.
- Probably returns nil if a table can't be read, ie: if we tried to read a table when we were meant to read a float. (confirmation needed).
- With the above point in mind, it is possibly safer to always use ReadVar which will automatically call ReadTable if it detects that a table needs to be read. On the flip side, using ReadTable might enhance code readability. It's really up to you as to which method you use.
