<p>In standard usage, there is no default way to use <code>request_fields</code>
to turn a method that accepts an <code>EndpointsModel</code> subtype into one
that accepts a collection of items of the same subtype.</p>

which allows this: <code>request_message</code>.</p>

<p>Convert the RPC messages into the corresponding

<p>Since the response type is hardcoded as a ProtoRPC message type, the
ProtoRPC message must be directly returned. This is different than
the typical flow using <code>response_fields</code> since the current method
doesn't know how to convert the response from a native <code>ndb.Model</code>
into a ProtoRPC message.</p>
