Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once. Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
An ``++Externalizable++`` class is one which handles its own ``++Serialization++`` and deserialization. During deserialization, the first step in the process is a default instantiation using the class' no-argument constructor. Therefore an ``++Externalizable++`` class without a no-arg constructor cannot be deserialized.
