The type handler, in its current form, it's not enough to map out
parameters since it does not allow to register out parameters before
issuing the call.
I've sucessufully create a typehandler that manages IN varray and, as
far as I can understand, ibatis is not able to support such Oracle
kind of types when they are OUT ones.
That's why I proposed an enhancement.
