// The slightly crazy abstractions here are designed to isolate knowledge of
//    the JSON library and data types from the Operation details of rosbridge.
//    Why is this important?  A few reasons I can see.  First, we might want
//    to change JSON libraries and this encapsulates all use of JSON-simple.
//    Second, as much as possible I would like the semantics of the rosbridge
//    protocol to be encapsulated in the Operation and its subclasses rather
//    than in a module that is essentially about serialization.
//
//    Unfortunately the hierarchical Message abstraction is a bit broken 
//    at the top level. Beginning at the actual operation (e.g., Publish), the
//    types of the fields are determined either by the fields themselves or by
//    an indicator.  However, the type of the operation itself is not determined
//    this way, because the indicator is in the object itself, which means it
//    would have to be created before its type is known. Rather than build in
//    exceptions, I elected to create a "Wrapper" operation type that simply
//    wraps the concrete operation and copies its "op" field.
//
