ReadIdent is called by the streaming system if it expects to read an identifier of type ValueType from the stream after a call to ReadValue returned vaIdent. The identifier should be returned as a string. Note that in some cases the identifier does not actually have to be in the stream. The following table indicates which identifiers must actually be read:
| ValueType | Expected value |
| vaIdent | Read from stream. |
| vaNil | 'Nil'. This does not have to be read from the stream. |
| vaFalse | 'False'. This does not have to be read from the stream. |
| vaTrue | 'True'. This does not have to be read from the stream. |
| vaNull | 'Null'. This does not have to be read from the stream. |
