* @class IProxy
*
* IProxy class represents a proxy object, which is a convenient local object created
* to represent a remote D-Bus object in another process.
* The proxy enables calling methods on remote objects, receiving signals from remote
* objects, and getting/setting properties of remote objects.
*
* All IProxy member methods throw @c sdbus::Error in case of D-Bus or sdbus-c++ error.
* The IProxy class has been designed as thread-aware. However, the operation of
* creating and sending method calls (both synchronously and asynchronously) is
* thread-safe by design.
