  // Super-simple interface for setting up a Cap'n Proto RPC client.  Example:
  //
  //     # Cap'n Proto schema
  //     interface Adder {
  //       add @0 (left :Int32, right :Int32) -> (value :Int32);
  //     }
  //
  //     // C++ client
  //     int main() {
  //       capnp::EzRpcClient client("localhost:3456");
  //       Adder::Client adder = client.getMain<Adder>();
  //       auto request = adder.addRequest();
  //       request.setLeft(12);
  //       request.setRight(34);
  //       auto response = request.send().wait(client.getWaitScope());
  //       assert(response.getValue() == 46);
  //       return 0;
  //     }
  //
  //     // C++ server
  //     class AdderImpl final: public Adder::Server {
  //     public:
  //       kj::Promise<void> add(AddContext context) override {
  //         auto params = context.getParams();
  //         context.getResults().setValue(params.getLeft() + params.getRight());
  //         return kj::READY_NOW;
  //       }
  //     };
  //
  //     int main() {
  //       capnp::EzRpcServer server(kj::heap<AdderImpl>(), "*:3456");
  //       kj::NEVER_DONE.wait(server.getWaitScope());
  //     }
  //
  // This interface is easy, but it hides a lot of useful features available from the lower-level
  // classes:
  // - The server can only export a small set of public, singleton capabilities under well-known
  //   string names.  This is fine for transient services where no state needs to be kept between
  //   connections, but hides the power of Cap'n Proto when it comes to long-lived resources.
  // - EzRpcClient/EzRpcServer automatically set up a `kj::EventLoop` and make it current for the
  //   thread.  Only one `kj::EventLoop` can exist per thread, so you cannot use these interfaces
  //   if you wish to set up your own event loop.  (However, you can safely create multiple
  //   EzRpcClient / EzRpcServer objects in a single thread; they will make sure to make no more
  //   than one EventLoop.)
  // - These classes only support simple two-party connections, not multilateral VatNetworks.
  // - These classes only support communication over a raw, unencrypted socket.  If you want to
  //   build on an abstract stream (perhaps one which supports encryption), you must use the
  //   lower-level interfaces.
  //
  // Some of these restrictions will probably be lifted in future versions, but some things will
  // always require using the low-level interfaces directly.  If you are interested in working
  // at a lower level, start by looking at these interfaces:
  // - `kj::startAsyncIo()` in `kj/async-io.h`.
  // - `RpcSystem` in `capnp/rpc.h`.
  // - `TwoPartyVatNetwork` in `capnp/rpc-twoparty.h`.

  // Construct a new EzRpcClient and connect to the given address.  The connection is formed in
  // the background -- if it fails, calls to capabilities returned by importCap() will fail with an
