Comment(by dave1010):

 Thanks for the patch against trunk. I'm still learning SVN.

 `__call()` is called when a method of that name is not visible. I.e. if
 you have private / protected methods with the same name. This means
 certain non-public methods can be run, but they are filtered through
 `__call()`. In my code I'm also modifying $method in some cases.

 Some random examples of what is possible using `__call()` in this
 situation:

 {{{
 if (strpos($method, 'secure', 0) !== false) {
   $this->authenticate();
 }
 if ($args[0] == 7 || date('D') == 'Mon') {
   $method .= '_awesome';
   $args[1]++;
 }
 }}}

 I guess I could work around it by sending all XML-RPC requests to 1 method
 and adding an extra arg, but that's a bit messy.
