DESCRIPTION
       This package provides a single command for use within snit type defini-
       tion (i.e. actually a snit::macro) for the convenient creation of meth-
       ods 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 end-
              point id.

              The  name of the remote method invoked by the delegator is iden-
              tical 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.
