Reads a start-of-list marker from the reader object's associated stream.
procedure ReadListBegin;
__fastcall ReadListBegin();
ReadListBegin is used by other methods that iterate through a list of items to ensure that the type about to be read is a list. ReadListBegin is also used by component writers in defined property ReadData methods.
If the next item in the stream is not a start-of list marker as written by the WriteListBegin method, ReadListBegin raises an EReadError exception.
A call to ReadListBegin is generally followed by a reading loop that terminates when the EndOfList method returns true, indicating that an end-of-list marker is next on the stream, at which point a call to ReadListEnd is required.
