// This file provides generic method to parse function call arguments from
// D-Bus message buffer and subsequently invokes a provided native C++ callback
// with the parameter values passed as the callback arguments.

// This functionality is achieved by parsing method arguments one by one,
// left to right from the C++ callback's type signature, and moving the parsed
// arguments to the back to the next call to DBusInvoke::Invoke's arguments as
// const refs.  Each iteration has one fewer template specialization arguments,
// until there is only the return type remaining and we fall through to either
// the void or the non-void final specialization.
