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 proce-
              dure  will delegate the actual work to the remote location iden-
              tified 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.
