Raymie Stata commented on AVRO-1006:
------------------------------------
On the one hand, the "Parsing Canonical Form" as I've defined it has important
uses and I think should be part of the Avro system.
On the other hand, it's a good point that there may be additional canonical
forms that satisfy different needs in the future. The class- and method-names
of the previous patch implicitly assumed a single canonical form. I've
modified the patch with new names that will better support the addition of new
canonical forms in the future. (I think I also fixed the Forrest problems,
although I haven't been able to verify.)
