[e-lang] "Comm system"

[Kevin Reid]

(Posted to cap-talk as well as e-lang; please consider which lists to

Mark Miller said yesterday that he thought "comm system" was too  
generic, that there are too many things it could refer to.

(A comm system, in our existing terminology, is a program which  
manages proxies for remote objects over some network/IPC protocol  
(e.g. CapTP, boot-comm); serialization, resolution, pipelining,  
whenBroken, etc.)

He suggested the term "remoting system". "remoting" is an unfamiliar  
term to me, and I'd like to hear others' thoughts on these choices of  
terminology.
