/// A client-side interface proxy.
///
/// A `Proxy` is a helper to interact with an interface on a remote object.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use std::result::Result;
/// use std::error::Error;
/// use zbus::{Connection, Proxy};
///
/// fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
///     let connection = Connection::new_session()?;
///     let p = Proxy::new(
///         &connection,
///         "org.freedesktop.DBus",
///         "/org/freedesktop/DBus",
///         "org.freedesktop.DBus",
///     )?;
///     // owned return value
///     let _id: String = p.call("GetId", &())?;
///     // borrowed return value
///     let _id: &str = p.call_method("GetId", &())?.body()?;
///     Ok(())
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Note
///
/// It is recommended to use the [`dbus_proxy`] macro, which provides a more convenient and
/// type-safe *façade* `Proxy` derived from a Rust trait.
///
/// ## Current limitations:
///
/// At this point, the `Proxy` is "simple". Notably, it doesn't:
/// - have any signal handling
/// - cache properties
/// - track the current name owner
/// - prevent auto-launching
///
