-- This package is used in the implementation of the DII.
--
-- It is used to emulate the work that was done by the generated files in
-- static invocation that are used on the client side (i.e. for a xxx.idl
-- file : xxx.ad?, xxx-proxy.ad?, xxx-stream.ad?).
-- It means that this package is a sort of generic stub. By type dispatching,
-- its functions are called in a transparent way by the general invocation
-- mecanism (invoke in adabroker-omniproxucallwrapper) exactly the same way
-- the generated ones are in static invocation.
--
-- A good way to understand how it works is to trace the calls in the static
-- invocation example Echo (from example/echo/client.adb, and then trace the
-- calls in the corresponding dynamic example (dii_client.adb in
-- examples/dii_echo) which uses the same Echo server.
