From aaea48fe9826b9e5d2d5b92795a297b8f238c58d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Leon Breedt <bitserf@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2005 21:03:36 +0000
Subject: * collapse 'ws' back into protocols, it just added complexity and
 indirection, and was hard to extend. * extract casting into seperate support
 file * ensure casting always does the right thing for return values, should
 fix interoperability issues with Ecto and possibly other XML-RPC clients *
 add functional unit tests for scaffolding * represent signature items with
 classes instead of symbols/Class objects, much more flexible * tweak logging
 to always show casted versions of parameters and return values, if possible.
