-how remote execution is supposed to be used 
--------------------------------------------
-
-- bootstrap: client initializes server loop
-  on the server. Note that both client and server 
-  run the same gateway.SocketGateway thread, 
-  accepting incoming source code and offering
-  a remote invocation API. Thus the two hosts
-  are symetrically gatewaying calls to each other. 
-
-  a client registers with a server by invoking
-  shpy.net.register.register('server:port'). The server
-  is expected to be a 'startserver.py' i.e. a
-  server which unpickles strings and executes them. 
-
-- in order to remotely execute source code you call
-
-    exec_remote(source) 
-
-  on your gateway. this will asynchronously execute 
-  the given source code on the other side. Note that there 
-  there is no return value, just as with the usual 
-  python 'exec' statement. exec_remote returns 
-  immediately and does not actually guarantee that 
-  your source code is executed on the other side. 
-
-  Note that all other API calls use this 
-  low level mechanism in order to implement 
-  control/synchronous mechanisms. 
-
-- in order to get a result a more higher level 
-  function can be invoked:
-
-      call_asynchronous(callback, func, *args, **kwargs)
-
-  will send the source code of 'func' and invoke 
-  it on the other side with the given arguments.
-  this will not return any value directly but instead
-  invoke the given callback with the result when and if
-  it arrives from the remote execution of 'func'. 
-
-      res = call_synchronous(func, *args, **kwargs)
- 
-  this will only returns after it received a result. 
-
-# XXX concept for object references (the above API 
-  does not differentiate between pickleable/copyable values 
-  and remote objects.
