/**
 * <p>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.
 *
 * <p>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.
 *
 * <p>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).
