+// this file is actually used by autogenpb
+
+// here are some docs, but probably it's just easier to run
+// autogenpb on this file and see what gets autogenerated
+// in this directory. All autogenerated files are named *.pb.go
+
+// the 'uuid' standard at the end is an experiment
+// establish a way to identify arbitrary .pb files
+
+// You can generate Marshal & Unmarshal for any struct (message) you want
+// You can generate SortBy and Append functions ONLY FOR 'repeated <message>'
+// Also, those structs must be defined in the same file
+// Additionally, you must use `autogenpb:mutex` on the parent struct.
+// The autogenerated code requires a RW mutex and autogenpb will insert it into the struct
+

+// autogen parses the .proto file and then store the information
+// it needs in these protobuf files, then it processes the
+// protobuf files to write out *.sort.pb.go and *.marshal.pb.go files
