API improvement suggestion: decodeObjects → decodeObjectList #6

Cool project! I can see myself using it. One of the things I ran into when testing things was that pesky s.

We have things that look like this: 

    members = object.decodeObjects("members", () => Person());
    manager = object.decodeObject("manager", () => Person());

As it turns out, I am a functional analphabet and that extra s to indicate that we are talking about an interable skipped me. I think I would have spotted my error if the indication was much more explicit. Something like object.decodeObjectList

What do you think?

Sure. I think having both and having one proxy into another is ok.
