Charm++ parallel programming system

[Aaron Becker <abecker3 AT illinois.edu>]

Notice that in your example code you are invoking foo1 and foo2 on an
object of type CProxy_A, not type A. You can't invoke non-entry
methods of an object through its proxy, except by calling ckLocal if
it's a local chare. Otherwise you could call non-entry methods on
remote objects, which will never work. The name resolution for
CProxy_A finds the entry methods in the base classes because CProxy_A
has no foo1 and foo2 methods of its own.
