//
// A universal frame-based communication protocol which can be used to exchange
// arbitrary structured data.
//
// In short:
//
// - Each transmission is comprised by one fixed-size frame.
// - Each frame contains a protocol version number.
// - Each frame contains an application frame type.
// - Each frame can contain an identifying tag.
// - Each frame can have application-specific data of up to UINT32_MAX size.
// - Transactions style messaging can be modeled on top using frame tags.
// - Lightweight API on top of libdispatch (aka GCD) -- close to the metal.
//
