-= XMLRPC::Base64
-== Description
-This class is necessary for (('xmlrpc4r')) to determine that a string should
-be transmitted base64-encoded and not as a raw-string.
-You can use (({XMLRPC::Base64})) on the client and server-side as a
-parameter and/or return-value.
-
-== Class Methods
---- XMLRPC::Base64.new( str, state = :dec )
-    Creates a new (({XMLRPC::Base64})) instance with string ((|str|)) as the
-    internal string. When ((|state|)) is (({:dec})) it assumes that the
-    string ((|str|)) is not in base64 format (perhaps already decoded),
-    otherwise if ((|state|)) is (({:enc})) it decodes ((|str|))
-    and stores it as the internal string.
-
---- XMLRPC::Base64.decode( str )
-    Decodes string ((|str|)) with base64 and returns that value.
-
---- XMLRPC::Base64.encode( str )
-    Encodes string ((|str|)) with base64 and returns that value.
-
-== Instance Methods
---- XMLRPC::Base64#decoded
-    Returns the internal string decoded.
-
---- XMLRPC::Base64#encoded
-    Returns the internal string encoded with base64.
