I should have added that another reason I want to plugin interface to
ocntinue existing, is that without it, I'd have to invent one, in order to
implement the idiomatic JSON wire protocol that I just wrote. The Thrift
generated-code "contract" doesn't have enough information to implement things
like an idiomatic JSON wire. Or YAML. But with extra type-information, it's a
straightforward matter. And the plugin provides that on-the-nose.
