//! Customizable (through template specialization) base class which ProxyServer
//! classes produced by generated code will inherit from. The default
//! specialization of this class just inherits from ProxyServerBase, but custom
//! specializations can be defined to control ProxyServer behavior.
//!
//! Specifically, it can be useful to specialize this class to add additional
//! state to ProxyServer classes, for example to cache state between IPC calls.
//! If this is done, however, care should be taken to ensure that the extra
//! state can be destroyed without blocking, because ProxyServer destructors are
//! called from the EventLoop thread, and if they block, it could deadlock the
//! program. One way to do avoid blocking is to clean up the state by pushing
//! cleanup callbacks to the m_context.cleanup_fns list, which run after the server
//! m_impl object is destroyed on the same thread destroying it (which will
//! either be an IPC worker thread if the ProxyServer is being explicitly
//! destroyed by a client calling a destroy() method with a Context argument and
//! Context.thread value set, or the temporary EventLoop::m_async_thread used to
//! run destructors without blocking the event loop when no-longer used server
//! objects are garbage collected by Cap'n Proto.) Alternately, if cleanup needs
//! to run before m_impl is destroyed, the specialization can override
//! invokeDestroy and destructor methods to do that.
