# update_object (generic) ------------------------------------------------------

#' @title Update familiar S4 objects to the most recent version.
#'
#' @description Provides backward compatibility for familiar objects exported to
#'   a file. This mitigates compatibility issues when working with files that
#'   become outdated as new versions of familiar are released, e.g. because
#'   slots have been removed.
#'   
#'   Major version releases (e.g., versions 1.0.0, 2.0.0) introduce breaking
#'   changes which can result in objects that cannot be updated.
#'
#' @param object A `familiarModel`, a `familiarEnsemble`, a `familiarData` or
#'   `familiarCollection` object.
#' @param ... Unused arguments.
#'
#' @return An up-to-date version of the respective S4 object.
#' @exportMethod update_object
#' @md
