there are no special precautions needed. Any type can be used as RPC
argument as long as the following conditions are met:

* The type is self-sufficient, i.e., does not contain pointers and
  references

* The type has a default constructor

The in/out direction is steered by the 'const' qualifier used for
reference arguments and, if more flexibility is needed, by the
'Trait::Rpc_direction' type trait. For a more detailed explanation,
please have a look at the Section "Transferable argument types" of the
current release notes:
