  newfunction(:base64, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-'ENDHEREDOC') do |args|

    Base64 encode or decode a string based on the command and the string submitted

    Usage:

      $encodestring = base64('encode', 'thestring')
      $decodestring = base64('decode', 'dGhlc3RyaW5n')

      # explicitly define encode/decode method: default, strict, urlsafe
      $method = 'default'
      $encodestring = base64('encode', 'thestring', $method)
      $decodestring = base64('decode', 'dGhlc3RyaW5n', $method)
