I've decided to rewrite the API so it is more upfront about what it 
does. Your argument about readability, when the API is unknown, is a 
valid one. It now works like this:

$client->system->multiCall(
   ripcord::encodeCall('methodOne'),
   ripcord::encodeCall('methodTwo')
);

Thanks for all your input,
