Description

Writes the passed Ident identifier to the writer object's stream.

WriteIdent is used internally by the component streaming system to write component properties being string type identifiers to the writer object's stream.

WriteIdent works as follows:

• If Ident is False, then WriteIdent calls WriteValue(vaFalse) and returns.
• If Ident is True, then WriteIdent calls WriteValue(vaTrue) and returns.
• If Ident is Nil, then WriteIdent calls WriteValue(vaNil) and returns.
• If Ident is Null, then WriteIdent calls WriteValue(vaNull) and returns.
• Otherwise, WriteIdent calls WriteValue(vaIdent) and then calls WriteUTF8Str(Ident) to write the identifier as a string.
  Notice that WriteIdent does not check whether the Ident string is a correct identifier.

WriteIdent advances the current position after the last written byte.
