/**
 * A refinement of StreamObserver provided by the GRPC runtime to the application that allows for
 * more complex interactions with call behavior.
 *
 * <p>In any call there are logically two {@link StreamObserver} implementations:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>'inbound' - which the GRPC runtime calls when it receives messages from the
 *   remote peer. This is implemented by the application.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>'outbound' - which the GRPC runtime provides to the application which it uses to
 *   send messages to the remote peer.
 *   </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Implementations of this class represent the 'outbound' message stream.
 *
 * <p>Like {@code StreamObserver}, implementations are not required to be thread-safe; if multiple
 * threads will be writing to an instance concurrently, the application must synchronize its calls.
 *
 * <p>DO NOT MOCK: The API is too complex to reliably mock. Use InProcessChannelBuilder to create
 * "real" RPCs suitable for testing.
