/**
 * <code>TMultiplexedProtocol</code> is a protocol-independent concrete decorator
 * that allows a Thrift client to communicate with a multiplexing Thrift server,
 * by prepending the service name to the function name during function calls.
 *
 * \note THIS IS NOT USED BY SERVERS.  On the server, use
 * {@link apache::thrift::TMultiplexedProcessor TMultiplexedProcessor} to handle requests
 * from a multiplexing client.
 *
 * This example uses a single socket transport to invoke two services:
 *
 * <blockquote><code>
 *     shared_ptr<TSocket> transport(new TSocket("localhost", 9090));
 *     transport->open();
 *
 *     shared_ptr<TBinaryProtocol> protocol(new TBinaryProtocol(transport));
 *
 *     shared_ptr<TMultiplexedProtocol> mp1(new TMultiplexedProtocol(protocol, "Calculator"));
 *     shared_ptr<CalculatorClient> service1(new CalculatorClient(mp1));
 *
 *     shared_ptr<TMultiplexedProtocol> mp2(new TMultiplexedProtocol(protocol, "WeatherReport"));
 *     shared_ptr<WeatherReportClient> service2(new WeatherReportClient(mp2));
 *
 *     service1->add(2,2);
 *     int temp = service2->getTemperature();
 * </code></blockquote>
