Yes that works too.
I think it would be useful if the register_instance, registered
the name of the object as part of the method names, e.g.

server.register_instance(MyClass(), "myob")

It would then be clear to the client, that it is calling methods
on an object:

    server.myob.helloWorld()
    server.myob.echo()

I this example it does not matter much, but usually objects have a
state, whereas function calls give the impression of something state-less.
Of course the same can be achieved by registering these functions individually:

   server.register_function(myob.helloWorld, "myob.helloWorld")
   server.register_function(myob.echo, "myob.echo")
