Nonblocking SIDL

The SIDL declaring calls to be nonblocking and/or oneway:


package foo version 0.2 {
  class Bar {
    nonblocking double runSimulation(in double x, inout y, out z);
    oneway void initSimulation(in string name, in int flags);
  }
}

Notice that the nonblocking call may take any arguments, but only in arguments are allowed for the oneway call.

NOTE: As of Babel 0.11.0, calling a non-blocking function on a local object causes a segfault. It works for remote objects, but not for local objects. Be careful. (Oneway calls are OK though)
