+// The gRPC protocol is an RPC protocol on top of HTTP2.
+//
+// While the most common type of RPC receives only one request message and
+// returns only one response message, the protocol also supports RPCs that
+// return multiple individual messages in a streaming fashion, RPCs that
+// accept a stream of request messages, or RPCs with both streaming requests
+// and responses.
+//
+// Conceptually, each gRPC call consists of a bidirectional stream of binary
+// messages, with RPCs of the "non-streaming type" sending only one message in
+// the corresponding direction (the protocol doesn't make any distinction).
+//
+// Each RPC uses a different HTTP2 stream, and thus multiple simultaneous RPCs
+// can be multiplexed transparently on the same TCP connection.
+@interface GRPCCall : NSObject<GRXWriter>
+
+// These HTTP2 headers will be passed to the server as part of this call. Each
+// HTTP2 header is a name-value pair with string names and either string or binary values.
+// The passed dictionary has to use NSString keys, corresponding to the header names. The
+// value associated to each can be a NSString object or a NSData object. E.g.:
+//
+// call.requestMetadata = @{
+//     @"Authorization": @"Bearer ...",
+//     @"SomeBinaryHeader": someData
+// };
+//
+// After the call is started, modifying this won't have any effect.

+// This isn't populated until the first event is delivered to the handler.
+@property(atomic, readonly) NSDictionary *responseMetadata;
+
+// The request writer has to write NSData objects into the provided Writeable. The server will
+// receive each of those separately and in order.
+// A gRPC call might not complete until the request writer finishes. On the other hand, the
+// request finishing doesn't necessarily make the call to finish, as the server might continue
+// sending messages to the response side of the call indefinitely (depending on the semantics of
+// the specific remote method called).
+// To finish a call right away, invoke cancel.
