SYNOPSIS

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.
