+ * \brief  Wrapper of a nitpicker session
+ * \author Norman Feske
+ * \date   2014-10-01
+ *
+ * This utility is intended to reduce repetitive boiler-plate code of
+ * components that intercept the nitpicker session interface. By default,
+ * all RPC function calls are forwarded to the wrapped session. So the
+ * implementations have to override only those functions that need
+ * customizations.
