42    * PostMessage() asynchronously invokes any listeners for message events on
43    * the DOM element for the given module instance. A call to PostMessage()
44    * will not block while the message is processed.
45    *
46    * @param[in] instance A <code>PP_Instance</code> identifying one instance
47    * of a module.
48    * @param[in] message A <code>PP_Var</code> containing the data to be sent to
49    * JavaScript.
50    * <code>message</code> can be any <code>PP_Var</code> type except
51    * <code>PP_VARTYPE_OBJECT</code>. Array/Dictionary types are supported from
52    * Chrome M29 onward. All var types are copied when passing them to
53    * JavaScript.
54    *
55    * When passing array or dictionary <code>PP_Var</code>s, the entire reference
56    * graph will be converted and transferred. If the reference graph has cycles,
57    * the message will not be sent and an error will be logged to the console.
58    *
59    * Listeners for message events in JavaScript code will receive an object
60    * conforming to the HTML 5 <code>MessageEvent</code> interface.
61    * Specifically, the value of message will be contained as a property called
62    *  data in the received <code>MessageEvent</code>.
63    *
64    * This messaging system is similar to the system used for listening for
65    * messages from Web Workers. Refer to
66    * <code>http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/</code> for
67    * further information.
68    *
69    * <strong>Example:</strong>
70    *
71    * @code
72    *
73    * <body>
74    *   <object id="plugin"
75    *           type="application/x-ppapi-postMessage-example"/>
76    *   <script type="text/javascript">
77    *     var plugin = document.getElementById('plugin');
78    *     plugin.addEventListener("message",
79    *                             function(message) { alert(message.data); },
80    *                             false);
81    *   </script>
82    * </body>
83    *
84    * @endcode
85    *
86    * The module instance then invokes PostMessage() as follows:
87    *
88    * @code
89    *
90    *  char hello_world[] = "Hello world!";
91    *  PP_Var hello_var = ppb_var_interface->VarFromUtf8(instance,
92    *                                                    hello_world,
93    *                                                    sizeof(hello_world));
94    *  ppb_messaging_interface->PostMessage(instance, hello_var); // Copies var.
95    *  ppb_var_interface->Release(hello_var);
96    *
97    * @endcode
98    *
99    * The browser will pop-up an alert saying "Hello world!"
