// Message class for generic request-reply style applications.
// The client sends a ~GenericAppMsg which contains the number of
// bytes the client wants the server to send back as reply.
//
// This way intelligence (behaviour specific to the modelled application,
// e.g. HTTP, SMB, database protocol) needs only to be present in
// the client, and the server model can be kept simple and dumb.
