DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides  a  single  command  for the convenient creation of procedures which delegate the
       actual work to a remote location via a "channel" created by the package comm.

API

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

              The  name  of  the  remote  procedure  invoked  by  the  delegator is [namespace tail name]. I.e.,
              namespace information is stripped from the call.

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