 54// Sometimes you want to be able to manipulate protocol types that you don't
 55// know about at compile time.  It would be nice to be able to construct
 56// a Message object which implements the message type given by any arbitrary
 57// Descriptor.  DynamicMessage provides this.
 58//
 59// As it turns out, a DynamicMessage needs to construct extra
 60// information about its type in order to operate.  Most of this information
 61// can be shared between all DynamicMessages of the same type.  But, caching
 62// this information in some sort of global map would be a bad idea, since
 63// the cached information for a particular descriptor could outlive the
 64// descriptor itself.  To avoid this problem, DynamicMessageFactory
 65// encapsulates this "cache".  All DynamicMessages of the same type created
 66// from the same factory will share the same support data.  Any Descriptors
 67// used with a particular factory must outlive the factory.
