Proxy Ideas
================================================================================

We could provide a Space proxy object. Would also need to provide a class
that can load spaces into the Garden.


ShiftSpace -> SpaceProxy
  setIsVisible
  showInterface
  hideInterface
  onShiftSave
  swap
  deleteShift
  onShiftDelete
  editShift
  onShiftEdit
  blurShift
  onShiftBlur
  orderFront
  createShift
  attributes
  getShift
  focusShift
  onShiftFocus

Space -> ShiftSpaceProxy
  SSInitShift
  SSLoadFile (move)
  SSSetValue
  SSGetValue
  SSIsNewShift
  ShiftSpace.User.setPreference
  ShiftSpace.User.getPreference
  ShiftSpace.User.getUserName (security considerations)
  ShiftSpace.User.getId (security considerations)

Shift -> ShiftSpaceProxy
  SSIsNewShift
  SSUserCanEditShift
  SSGetAuthorForShift (security considerations)
  SSGetAuthorNameForShift (security consideratios)
  

Spaces would be proxies. When calling the methods they would call into the
unsafe window with post messgae. On the other side an receiving proxy
object listens forwarding the messages to the object.


ShiftSpace -> send proxy -> receive proxy -> Space


Autogeneration / Bridging
================================================================================

Can we autogenerate the proxies on both sides. If this was Lisp it would be
considerably easier.

Bridge file. Method name and signature.

{
  class: 'Space',
  methods: [
    {name: 'createShift', arglist: ['newShift']}
  ]
}
