Add support for type modifiers
------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-121
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Compiler (General)
Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
We'd like to have the ability to add type modifiers in the IDL to help
protocols decide what encodings can be used for certain types. Some examples
would be "fixed" and "zigzag" for integer types, and "extern" for strings (and
possibly binary?) types.
In addition to modifying the parser to properly detect type modifiers, we must
change the signature of some protocol methods in all protocols to take a new
parameter containing the type modifier. Implementations are free to act on or
ignore the modifier accordingly.
