/** A client-side proxy.
 * This is a base class used for proxies to access a D-Bus interface on
 * a remote object. It can be constructed for both well-known and
 * unique names.
 *
 * By default, Proxy will cache all properties (and listen to changes) of
 * the remote object, and proxy all signals that gets emitted. This behaviour
 * can be changed by passing suitable ProxyFlags when the proxy is
 * created. If the proxy is for a well-known name, the property cache is
 * flushed when the name owner vanishes and reloaded when a name owner
 * appears.
 *
 * If a Proxy is used for a well-known name, the owner of the name is
 * tracked and can be read from property_g_name_owner().
 *
 * The generic signal_g_properties_changed() and signal_g_signal() signals are
 * not very convenient to work with. Therefore, the recommended way of working
 * with proxies is to subclass Proxy, and have more natural properties and
 * signals in your derived class.
 *
 * This documentation was adapted from the C API documentation.  The C API docs
 * has more information and an example.

   * If the DBusConnection associated with @a proxy is closed then
   * the operation will fail with IO_ERROR_CLOSED. If
   *  @a cancellable is canceled, the operation will fail with
   * IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If @parameters contains a value not
   * compatible with the D-Bus protocol, the operation fails with
   * IO_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.
   * 
   * If the @parameters Variant is floating, it is consumed. This allows
   * convenient 'inline' use of Glib::variant_new(), e.g.:
   * 
   * [C example ellipted]
   * 
   * If @a proxy has an expected interface (see
   * DBusProxy::property_g_interface_info()) and @a method_name is referenced by it,
   * then the return value is checked against the return type.
   * 
   * This is an asynchronous method. When the operation is finished,
   *  @a callback will be invoked in the
   * thread-default main loop
   * of the thread you are calling this method from.
   * You can then call g_dbus_proxy_call_finish() to get the result of
   * the operation. See g_dbus_proxy_call_sync() for the synchronous
   * version of this method.
   * 
   * If @a callback is <tt>0</tt> then the D-Bus method call message will be sent with
   * the DBUS_MESSAGE_FLAGS_NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag set.
   * 
   * @newin{2,26}

   * @param timeout_msec The timeout in milliseconds (with MAXINT meaning
   * "infinite") or -1 to use the proxy default timeout.
   * @param cancellable A Cancellable or <tt>0</tt>.
   * @param callback A AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied or <tt>0</tt> if you don't
   * care about the result of the method invocation.
