Description

Reads and returns a string type value from the reader object's stream.

ReadIdent is a helper method used by other reader methods to read a string type element at the current reader Position.

ReadIdent calls ReadValue to read the value-type indicator. If the retrieved value-type indicator is:

vaIdent -- ReadIdent calls Read to read the string type identifier at the current reader Position and returns the obtained value. Notice that ReadIdent does not check whether the retrieved string is a correct identifier.
vaFalse -- ReadIdent returns the False string.
vaTrue -- ReadIdent returns the True string.
vaNil -- ReadIdent returns the Nil string.
vsaNull -- ReadIdent returns the Null string.
Otherwise, ReadIdent raises an EReadError exception.

ReadIdent advances the reader Position after the last byte it has read.
