|etymology
I've always thought that the concept of Marshalling had a bit of a funny name.
My mental conception of the process would always involve an ol' wildwest gunslinging marshall who would coerce objects into serialized form at gunpoint.
I just found out the real reason Marshalling is called what it's called and chuckled.
Do you know the real reason, or perhaps you too are familiar with my gunslinger?
