The rules have changed as follows:
* When decoding into pointers, empty values no longer produce
a nil pointer. This can be overriden for struct fields using the
struct tag "nil".
* When decoding into structs, the input list must contain an element
for each field.
I'm reasonably confident that the encoding matches the output of
ethutil.Encode for values that it supports. Some of the tests have been
adpated from the Ethereum testing repository.
There are still TODOs in the code.
