> Original design was to use stream operator << >> interface to proton::data to give complete flexibility to construct/interpret arbitrary AMQP types in a usable, idiomatic C++ way.
> This interface is important internally but most API users will use automatic conversion via assignment, construction and get<T>() functions on proton::value and the proton::scalar types. 
> Move detailed documentation for the type conversion rules to proton::value, and mark the data interface as "advanced" but leave it available to cover possible interop cases that are not covered by the existing "canned" conversions.
> Review proton::message constructors, assignment and documentation to make sure it is easy to understand how to use data-containing members of a message.
