Simple client example
# Declare the Foo class with default port and host (localhost and 5042)
class Foo < NetworkFacade::Client
end
# Or declate the Foo class and set an uri
class Foo < NetworkFacade::Client 'nf://localhost:5042'
end
# Do a remote cal
f = Foo.new
puts f.bar
Simple server example

class Foo
def bar
42
end
end
# Create the server
server = NetworkFacade::Server.new
# Add an object
server << Foo.new
# Start the server
server.start
