> We'd like to have the ability to add type modifiers in the IDL to help protocols decide what encodings can be used for certain types. Some examples would be "fixed" and "zigzag" for integer types, and "extern" for strings (and possibly binary?) types. 
> In addition to modifying the parser to properly detect type modifiers, we must change the signature of some protocol methods in all protocols to take a new parameter containing the type modifier. Implementations are free to act on or ignore the modifier accordingly.
