Christian,
So this new introspection functionality is completely contained within
the updated RPCPHP contrib code and doesn't require anything special in
the remote service classes themselves?
I looked through the materials you provided, and it's not clear but
appears that way to me. I think the code you added uses PHP methods to
gather knowledge about the called PHP code, or am I misinterpreting how
the service introspection will function?
Thanks,
Gene
