So I started looking through this seriously, and my first question is why do the docs and code keep saying that "base types" are sent in binary? Why not just "data"? Are there any cases where we don't use binary format, if the subscription requests it?
If there's not a concrete reason to use that terminology, I'd rather flush it, because it seems confusing.
Well for some reason I thought there were some types that did not have send and receive functions.
I've changed the docs to say data and the flag from binary_basetypes to just binary
