+        <jim-crow> what is a main idea of _demuxer functions in translators?
+        <neal> jim-crow: Think of a web server.
+        <neal> jim-crow: A typical web server must process many different requests.
+        <neal> jim-crow: There are different types of requests.
+        <neal> jim-crow: For instance, static pages and dynamically gnereated content.
+        <neal> the static pages are processed by one function
+        <neal> and the dynamic pages by another
+        <neal> the thing that makes the decision which of these functions to pass the request to is the demuxer.
+        <jim-crow> neal: ok, I see
+        <jim-crow> but what is actually it doing in trivfs_demuxer?
+        <neal> it looks at the message id and calls the right server stub
+        <jim-crow> for example it calls trivfs_io_server function, but I can't find its implementation
+        <jim-crow> that's my main question :-)
+        <neal> look at the files mig generates
+        <jim-crow> neal: ok, thanks
+        <jim-crow> neal: is this functions where actually stubs are called?
+        <neal> I think so.
