///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// This set of interfaces and methods is designed to allow protos to have Go methods attached
// to them, so that they may be automatically marshaled to human readable JSON (where the
// opaque byte fields are represented as their expanded proto contents) and back once again
// to standard proto messages.
//
// There are currently three different types of interfaces available for protos to implement:
//
// 1. StaticallyOpaque*FieldProto:  These interfaces should be implemented by protos which have
// opaque byte fields whose marshaled type is known at compile time.  This is mostly true
// for the signature oriented fields like the Envelope.Payload, or Header.ChannelHeader
//
// 2. VariablyOpaque*FieldProto: These interfaces are identical to the StaticallyOpaque*FieldProto
// definitions, with the exception that they are guaranteed to be evaluated after the
// StaticallyOpaque*FieldProto definitions.  In particular, this allows for the type selection of
// a VariablyOpaque*FieldProto to depend on data populated by the StaticallyOpaque*FieldProtos.
// For example, the Payload.data field depends upon the Payload.Header.ChannelHeader.type field,
// which is along a statically marshaled path.
//
// 3. Dynamic*FieldProto: These interfaces are for messages which contain other messages whose
// attributes cannot be determined at compile time.  For example, a ConfigValue message may evaluate
// the map field values["MSP"] successfully in an organization context, but not at all in a channel
// context.  Because go is not a dynamic language, this dynamic behavior must be simulated by
// wrapping the underlying proto message in another type which can be configured at runtime with
// different contextual behavior. (See tests for examples)
//
