NAME

       Builtins::unmarshal - Unmarshal a string

SYNOPSIS

       any unmarshal( String x, Int id )

ARGUMENTS

       x The String to unmarshal

       id The unmarshalling ID

DESCRIPTION

       Convert  a  String  generated  with  Builtins.marshal  (3kaya)  into  a  variable  of  the
       appropriate type.

       This must be done with care, since the type you get depends on the String,  so  make  sure
       you  know  what you are doing! The id given must match the id given when marshalling or an
       Exception is generated.

       An Exception will also be generated if the function table of the current program does  not
       match the function table of the marshal()ing program.
