167
168 Template class to access a process-wide singleton server-connection and to wrap all
169 calls using this connection with an error-handling strategy (e.g. to reconnect when
170 the connection broke). The source looks very complicated due to heavy use of templates,
171 look at the 3rd codegen example to see how to use it.
