	 *			 - Plain types - All types defined in BsRTTIField.h, mostly native types and POD (plain old data) structs. Data is parsed byte by byte.  
	 *			                 No pointers to plain types are supported. Data is passed around by value.
	 *			 - Reflectable types - Any class deriving from IReflectable. Data is parsed based on fields in its RTTI class. Can be pointer or value type.
	 *			 - Arrays of both plain and reflectable types are supported
	 *			 - Data blocks - A managed or unmanaged block of data. See BsManagedDataBlock.h
