DESCRIPTION

       This  package provides a single command for use within snit type definition (i.e. actually a snit::macro)
       for the convenient creation of methods which delegate  the  actual  work  to  a  remote  location  via  a
       "channel" created by the package comm.

API

       ::interp::delegate::method ?-async? name arguments comm id
              This  commands  creates  a  method  which  is  named  by name. All invokations of this method will
              delegate the actual work to the remote location identified  by  the  comm  channel  comm  and  the
              endpoint id.

              The  name  of  the  remote  method invoked by the delegator is identical to the name of the method
              itself.

              Normally the generated method marshalls the arguments, and returns  the  result  from  the  remote
              method  as  its  own  result. If however the option -async was specified then the generated method
              will not wait for a result and return immediately.
