    `RemoteCall` | RemoteRef.`newCall(RemoteObject obj, Operation[] op, int opnum, long hash)` Deprecated. 1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls on the stub's the remote reference (`newCall`, `invoke`, and `done`), a stub uses a single method, `invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int)`, on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.
