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.
