     serialized instance is no longer valid.

Arguments:

  object: Object to be updated, or for slot information to be extracted
          from.

 verbose: A logical, indicating whether information about the update
          should be reported. Use 'message' to report this.

     ...: Additional arguments, for use in specific update methods.

Value:

     'updateObject' returns a valid instance of 'object'.
