deserialize(arguments)

Deserializes a set of arguments. Intrinsic types that can safely be deserialized without mutation are returned as-is. Arrays/Hashes are deserialized element by element. All other types are deserialized using GlobalID.

def deserialize(arguments)
  arguments.map { |argument| deserialize_argument(argument) }
