// specified InterfacePtr to one end of the message pipe, and returns an
// InterfaceRequest bound to the other. The InterfacePtr should be passed to
// the client, and the InterfaceRequest should be passed to whatever will
// provide the implementation. The implementation should typically be bound to
// the InterfaceRequest using the Binding or StrongBinding classes. The client
// may begin to issue calls even before an implementation has been bound, since
// messages sent over the pipe will just queue up until they are consumed by
// the implementation.
//
// Example #1: Requesting a remote implementation of an interface.
// ===============================================================
//
// Given the following interface:
//
//   interface Database {
//     OpenTable(Table& table);
//   }
//
// The client would have code similar to the following:
//
//   DatabasePtr database = ...;  // Connect to database.
//   TablePtr table;
//   database->OpenTable(GetProxy(&table));
//
// Upon return from GetProxy, |table| is ready to have methods called on it.
//
// Example #2: Registering a local implementation with a remote service.
// =====================================================================
//
// Given the following interface
//   interface Collector {
//     RegisterSource(Source source);
//   }
//
// The client would have code similar to the following:
//
//   CollectorPtr collector = ...;  // Connect to Collector.
//   SourcePtr source;
//   InterfaceRequest<Source> source_request = GetProxy(&source);
//   collector->RegisterSource(std::move(source));
//   CreateSource(std::move(source_request));  // Create implementation locally.
