Ah, OK. So the way runEncoded works is it necessarily instantiates your 
lambda with all types of iopipes that it might need. Then it decides at 
runtime which one to call.

So for a single call, it may be one of those 3, but always the same 
within the loop.

It might be tough to do it right, but moot point now, since it's not 
necessary anyway :)
