+// IPC::ChannelProxy
+//
+// This class is a helper class that is useful when you wish to run an IPC
+// channel on a background thread.  It provides you with the option of either
+// handling IPC messages on that background thread or having them dispatched to
+// your main thread (the thread on which the IPC::ChannelProxy is created).
+//
+// The API for an IPC::ChannelProxy is very similar to that of an IPC::Channel.
+// When you send a message to an IPC::ChannelProxy, the message is routed to
+// the background thread, where it is then passed to the IPC::Channel's Send
+// method.  This means that you can send a message from your thread and your
+// message will be sent over the IPC channel when possible instead of being
+// delayed until your thread returns to its message loop.  (Often IPC messages
+// will queue up on the IPC::Channel when there is a lot of traffic, and the
+// channel will not get cycles to flush its message queue until the thread, on
+// which it is running, returns to its message loop.)
+//
+// An IPC::ChannelProxy can have a MessageFilter associated with it, which will
+// be notified of incoming messages on the IPC::Channel's thread.  This gives
+// the consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy the ability to respond to incoming
+// messages on this background thread instead of on their own thread, which may
+// be bogged down with other processing.  The result can be greatly improved
+// latency for messages that can be handled on a background thread.
+//
+// The consumer of IPC::ChannelProxy is responsible for allocating the Thread
+// instance where the IPC::Channel will be created and operated.
+//
