+All methods on proxies are specified like `normal` kind methods on interfaces,
+with the exception that the error argument appears at the end rather than the
+beginning. Even if they are marked `simple` in the interface, there are other
+possibilities for errors, such as timeouts, which need to be reported to the
+client.
