* @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.

*
* The call blocks otherwise, waiting for the remote peer to send back a reply or an error,
* or until the call times out.
*
* While blocking, other concurrent operations (in other threads) on the underlying bus
* connection are stalled until the call returns. This is not an issue in vast majority of
* (simple, single-threaded) applications. In asynchronous, multi-threaded designs involving
* shared bus connections, this may be an issue. It is advised to instead use an asynchronous
* callMethod() function overload, which does not block the bus connection, or do the synchronous
* call from another Proxy instance created just before the call and then destroyed (which is
* anyway quite a typical approach in D-Bus implementations). Such proxy instance must have
* its own bus connection. So-called light-weight proxies (ones created with `dont_run_event_loop_thread`
* tag are designed for exactly that purpose.
