Right, sorry.  I didn't talk about that piece of it because it's  
orthogonal to the result.  Any method can return a Python structure  
and if we can serialize to something we'll try to based on metadata  
in the request (as opposed to traversing to a separate method).

It's unfortunate that the only place to go is the code:

I'll try to investigate a little.  It'd be trivial to add json  
serialization to obob if we could figure out how to decide when to do  
it.
