HTTP requests need to be translated into function calls before they can be recorded.
Right now there are two ways of implementing this conversion: one can either write a new protocol, or use the predefined RawProtocol with a custom params parser. None of these methods is significantly better than the other, and the choice between them introduces unnecessary confusion.
To simplify the API, I propose to deprecate params parsers in favour of custom protocols. To make writing the latter easier, a base class for all protocols (e.g. with a default implementation of the dumps method) could be introduced.
