/** \brief Generic SocketHandle with client interface
- This class provides the client side policy interface of the
- socket abstraction. ClientSocketHandle defines the complete
- policy interface. It does not implement any functionality
- itself however. All calls are forward to the following policy
- classes:

<table class="senf">
<tr><th>ClientSocketHandle member</th> <th>Policy member</th></tr>
<tr><td>sndbuf()</td> <td>BufferingPolicy::rcvbuf (\ref senf::BufferingPolicyBase)</td></tr>

- It is important to note, that not all members are always
- accessible. Which are depends on the \c Policy template
- argument. If any of the policy axis is left unspecified the
- corresponding members will not be callable (you will get a
- compile time error). Even if every policy axis is defined,
- some members might (and will) not exist depending on the exact
- policy. To find out, which members are available, you have to
- check the documentation of the policy classes. You can also
- find a summary of all active members in the leaf protocol
- class documentation.
-
- \todo Move all not template-parameter dependent code into a
- non-template base class
-
- \idea Give SocketHandle (and therefore ClientSocketHandle and
- ServerSocketHandle) a \c protocol() template member and an
- additional template arg \c Policies. This arg should be a
- typelist of Poclicy classes which can be accessed. You use
- protocol<ProtocolClass>() to access a protocol class. \c
- Policies can of course be underspecified or even empty.
-
- \idea add more flexible read/write members for a)
- boost::arrays and arrays of other types b) std::vector (which
- uses contiguous memory ..) c) other random-access containers
- (we should use some configurable trait class to identify
- containers with contiguous storage). Probably we should just
- use a generic Boost.Range interface. Here we again come to the
- point: make all except the most basic members be non-member
- algorithms ? this would make the configuration of such
- extenden members more flexible.
