#' Convenience helpers for handling local directories
#'
#' \emph{WARNING: these functions are deprecated as the saving/reading functions are already simple enough in the newer versions of the \pkg{alabaster} framework.}
#' Read and write objects from a local staging directory.
#' These are just convenience wrappers around functions like \code{\link{loadObject}}, \code{\link{stageObject}} and \code{\link{writeMetadata}}.
#'
#' @param x Object to be saved.
#' @param dir String containing a path to the directory.
#' @param path String containing a relative path to the object of interest inside \code{dir}.
#' @param ... Further arguments to pass to \code{\link{loadObject}} (for \code{quickLoadObject}) or \code{\link{stageObject}} (for \code{quickStageObject}).
#'
#' @return For \code{quickLoadObject}, the object at \code{path}.
#'
#' For \code{quickStageObject}, the object is saved to \code{path} inside \code{dir}.
#' All necessary directories are created if they are not already present.
#' A \code{NULL} is returned invisibly.

#' # Creating a slightly complicated object:
#' library(S4Vectors)
#' df <- DataFrame(A=1:10, B=LETTERS[1:10])
#' df$C <- DataFrame(D=letters[1:10], E=runif(10))
#'
#' # Saving it:
#' quickStageObject(df, local, "FOOBAR")
#'
#' # Reading it back:
#' quickLoadObject(local, "FOOBAR")
