// Package rpc defines interfaces for communication via remote procedure call.
//
//   Concept: https://github.com/vanadium/docs/blob/master/concepts/rpc.md
//   Tutorial: (forthcoming)
//
// There are two actors in the system, clients and servers.  Clients invoke
// methods on Servers, using the StartCall method provided by the Client
// interface.  Servers implement methods on named objects.  The named object is
// found using a Dispatcher, and the method is invoked using an Invoker.
//
// Instances of the Runtime host Clients and Servers, such instances may
// simultaneously host both Clients and Servers.  The Runtime allows multiple
// names to be simultaneously supported via the Dispatcher interface.
//
// The naming package provides a rendezvous mechanism for Clients and Servers.
// In particular, it allows Runtimes hosting Servers to share Endpoints with
// Clients that enables communication between them.  Endpoints encode sufficient
// addressing information to enable communication.
