/**
* An {@code RpcController} mediates a single method call. The primary purpose of the controller is
* to provide a way to manipulate settings specific to the RPC implementation and to find out about
* RPC-level errors.
*
* Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should not try to build on this, but should
* instead provide code generator plugins which generate code specific to the particular RPC
* implementation. This way the generated code can be more appropriate for the implementation in use
* and can avoid unnecessary layers of indirection.
*
*
The methods provided by the {@code RpcController} interface are intended to be a "least common
* denominator" set of features which we expect all implementations to support. Specific
* implementations may provide more advanced features (e.g. deadline propagation).
