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

# Creating a slightly complicated object:

# Saving it:
quickStageObject(df, local, "FOOBAR")
