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

// this is almost never what you want to do. Almost all users should use

// Given a Descriptor, constructs the default (prototype) Message of that

//
// Calling this method twice with the same Descriptor returns the same
// object. The returned object remains property of the factory and will
// be destroyed when the factory is destroyed. Also, any objects created
// by calling the prototype's New() method share some data with the
// prototype, so these must be destroyed before the DynamicMessageFactory
// is destroyed.

// The given descriptor must outlive the returned message, and hence must
