/**
 * 
 * NATFarReference is the root of the native classes that represent native far references.
 * The AmbientTalk/2 implementation distinguishes between two kinds of far references:
 * local and remote far references. The former denote far references to objects hosted by
 * actors on the same virtual machine. The latter ones denote far references to remote objects
 * that are hosted on a separate virtual (and usually even physical) machine.
 * 
 * This abstract superclass encapsulates all of the code that these two kinds of far references
 * have in common. The variabilities are delegated to the subclasses. Subclasses should implement
 * an abstract method (transmit) which is invoked by this class when the far reference receives
 * a message to be forwarded to the remote principal.
 * 
 * Note that far references are pass by copy and resolve to either a near or a new
 * actor-local far reference.
 * 
 * Far references encapsulate the same stripes as the remote object they represent.
 * As such it becomes possible to perform a stripe test on a far reference as if it
 * was performed on the local object itself!
