    # Data is a light wrapper around a Ruby hash that provides
    # method missing access to the hash contents.
    #
    # == Method Missing Access
    #
    # You can access hash content with methods if their keys
    # are symbols.
    #
    #   data = AWS::Core::Data.new({ :a => 1, :b => 2, :c => true })
    #   data.a #=> 1
    #   data.b #=> 2
    #   data.c #=> true
    #   data.d #=> raises NoMethodError
    #
    # == Boolean Methods
    #
    # Given the structure above you can also use question-mark methods.
    #
    #   data.c? #=> true
    #   data.d? #=> raises NoMethodError
    #
    # == Nested Hashes
    #
    # If the data contains nested hashes you can chain methods into
    # the structure.
    #
    #   data = AWS::Core::Data.new(:a => { :b => { :c => 'abc' }})
    #   data.a.b.c #=> 'abc'
    #
    # == Nested Arrays
    #
    # Arrays are wrapped in {Data::List} objects.  They ensure any
    # data returned is correctly wrapped so you can continue using
    # method-missing access.
    #
    #   data = AWS::Core::Data.new(
    #    :people => [
    #      {:name => 'john'},
    #      {:name => 'jane'},
    #   ]})
    #
    #   data.people[0].name #=> 'john'
    #   data.people[1].name #=> 'jane'
    #
    #   data.people.map(&:name) #=> ['john','jane']
