	<brief_description>
		An abstraction of a serialized scene.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A simplified interface to a scene file. Provides access to operations and checks that can be performed on the scene resource itself.
		Can be used to save a node to a file. When saving, the node as well as all the node it owns get saved (see [code]owner[/code] property on [Node]).
		[b]Note:[/b] The node doesn't need to own itself.
		[b]Example of loading a saved scene:[/b]
		[codeblock]
		# Use `load()` instead of `preload()` if the path isn't known at compile-time.
		var scene = preload("res://scene.tscn").instance()
		# Add the node as a child of the node the script is attached to.
		add_child(scene)
		[/codeblock]
		[b]Example of saving a node with different owners:[/b] The following example creates 3 objects: [code]Node2D[/code] ([code]node[/code]), [code]RigidBody2D[/code] ([code]rigid[/code]) and [code]CollisionObject2D[/code] ([code]collision[/code]). [code]collision[/code] is a child of [code]rigid[/code] which is a child of [code]node[/code]. Only [code]rigid[/code] is owned by [code]node[/code] and [code]pack[/code] will therefore only save those two nodes, but not [code]collision[/code].
		[codeblock]
		# Create the objects.
		var node = Node2D.new()
		var rigid = RigidBody2D.new()
		var collision = CollisionShape2D.new()

		# Create the object hierarchy.
		rigid.add_child(collision)
		node.add_child(rigid)

		# Change owner of `rigid`, but not of `collision`.
		rigid.owner = node

		var scene = PackedScene.new()
		# Only `node` and `rigid` are now packed.
		var result = scene.pack(node)
		if result == OK:
		    var error = ResourceSaver.save("res://path/name.scn", scene)  # Or "user://..."
		    if error != OK:
		        push_error("An error occurred while saving the scene to disk.")
		[/codeblock]
