//! Cap'n Proto threading model is very simple: all I/O operations are
//! asynchronous and must be performed on a single thread. This includes:
//!
//! - Code starting an asynchronous operation (calling a function that returns a
//!   promise object)
//! - Code notifying that an asynchronous operation is complete (code using a
//!   fulfiller object)
//! - Code handling a completed operation (code chaining or waiting for a promise)
//!
//! All of this code needs to access shared state, and there is no mutex that
//! can be acquired to lock this state because Cap'n Proto
//! assumes it will only be accessed from one thread. So all this code needs to
//! actually run on one thread, and the EventLoop::loop() method is the entry point for
//! this thread. ProxyClient and ProxyServer objects that use other threads and
//! need to perform I/O operations post to this thread using EventLoop::post()
//! and EventLoop::sync() methods.
//!
//! Specifically, because ProxyClient methods can be called from arbitrary
//! threads, and ProxyServer methods can run on arbitrary threads, ProxyClient
//! methods use the EventLoop thread to send requests, and ProxyServer methods
//! use the thread to return results.

//!
//! This method is called in the same way other proxy server methods are called,
//! via the serverInvoke function. Basically serverInvoke just calls this as a

//! method has any parameters or return values they will be handled in the
//! normal way by PassField/ReadField/BuildField functions. Particularly if a
