I did some updating of the documentation to include the materialization. In the process I realized there were some features and changes that should make things easier and faster for the client.
I added a 'homepage' property to materialization in order to let people browse things that way.
I moved the recombination of columns to the client side, because there were major speed improvements in serialization and deserialization when passing uniform numpy arrays over the wire.
I made all the metadata objects return datetime converting objects, rather than leaving that to the user.
I also put in some example hyperlinks throughout the docs that bring the user to the function/class docstrings directly. We should use these more broadly.
