     These functions provide information about a function that was
     programmatically created by processing a WSDL file. It allows the
     R user to find out characteristics of these functions without
     having to understand the particular structure of the functions,
     i.e. the environments and the meta-data being stored in that
     environment and the default server object in a parent environment
     shared by all the generated functions.

     The help function merely  makes the regular help function in base
     generic.

     When these functions are serialized and written to a file, these 
     methods no longer work at present. This can be remedied.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     server(fun, ...)
     returnType(fun, ...)
     returnConverter(fun, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     fun: the function object whose characteristics are being queried.
          This is a programatically generated  function as part of the
          WSDL processing.  This should be of class
          'WSDLGeneratedSOAPFunction'.

     ...: additional arguments so that these generic functions can be
          useful to other packages.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     These merely provide information about the contents of the
     environment of the generated function.

_N_o_t_e:

     When they are serialized to a file, this information is no longer
     available at present
