Description

CLI's Proxies are a bit different from Java proxies. Proxiable objects need to extends MarshalByRefObject or ContextBoundObject. Proxy definition goes through attributes.

This proposal is to create a component that emits the necessary IL to generate a proxy for a set of interfaces and uses a invocation handler implementation to dispatch methods.

Something like:

object myproxy = DynamicProxy.create( new Type[]

{ typeof(interface1) }

, new InvoHandlerImpl());

// At this point myproxy implements interface1 and will dispatch
// method invocation to InvoHandlerImpl

Seems simple but will use reflection.emit to generate IL code, and this is like writing ASM
