#' @name saveRDS.gpb.Booster
#' @title saveRDS for \code{gpb.Booster} models
#' @description Attempts to save a model using RDS. Has an additional parameter (\code{raw})
#'              which decides whether to save the raw model or not.
#' @param object R object to serialize.
#' @param file a connection or the name of the file where the R object is saved to or read from.
#' @param ascii a logical. If TRUE or NA, an ASCII representation is written; otherwise (default),
#'              a binary one is used. See the comments in the help for save.
#' @param version the workspace format version to use. \code{NULL} specifies the current default
#'                version (2). Versions prior to 2 are not supported, so this will only be relevant
#'                when there are later versions.
#' @param compress a logical specifying whether saving to a named file is to use "gzip" compression,
#'                 or one of \code{"gzip"}, \code{"bzip2"} or \code{"xz"} to indicate the type of
#'                 compression to be used. Ignored if file is a connection.
#' @param refhook a hook function for handling reference objects.
#' @param raw whether to save the model in a raw variable or not, recommended to leave it to \code{TRUE}.
#'
#' @return NULL invisibly.
