This is exactly the "data marshalling" I was talking about.  Our
application is heavily asynchronous and it isn't an exaggeration to say
that there are hundreds of different calls with different functions and
parameter lists.  Having to define a new object, or even just a new
method and record and fill in that data is a lot of code, and
consequently there are plenty of cases that would benefit from more
asynchronous behavior or parallism that don't do so.
