---------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: assign-id
Assign new ID to client, or fetch current ID
Purpose: assigning ID to clients so server can respond to that client
Compulsivity: manditory (core infrastructure)
More documentation: doc/messages
Reference implementation: mds-server
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: intercept
Sign up for reception of message
Optional header: Stop
Stop reception of messages if `yes`
Optional header: Priority
Signed 64-bit integer of reception priority (reversed of order)
Optional header: Modifying
Send message asynchronously and await modification if `yes`
Optional header: Length
Length of the message
Message: list of headers and header–value-pairs that qualifies
a message for reception, all messages qualifies if this
list is empty
Purpose: filter received message for clients and servers
Purpose: assigned interception order for modification of messages

Echo back a message
Required header: Client ID
Your ID, provided by `ID assignment`
in response to `Command: assign-id`
Optional header: Length

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Command: register
Register availability of a command for which you implement a service
Required header: Length
Length of the message
Optional header: Action
Remove availability for registry if `remove`.
Wait until listed commands are available if `wait`.
Send a list of availability commands if `list`.
Message: List of values for the header `Command` that you implement
Purpose: Identify supported display server operations
Purpose: Initialisation process synchronisation
