"""DEPRECATED:  Declares the RPC service interfaces.

This module declares the abstract interfaces underlying proto2 RPC
services.  These are intended to be independent of any particular RPC
implementation, so that proto2 services can be used on top of a variety
of implementations.  Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should
not try to build on these, but should instead provide code generator plugins
which generate code specific to the particular RPC implementation.  This way
the generated code can be more appropriate for the implementation in use
and can avoid unnecessary layers of indirection.
