// .NAME vtkClientServerID - Identifier for a ClientServer object.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkClientServerID identifies an object managed by a
// vtkClientServerInterpreter.  Although the identifier is simply an
// integer, this class allows vtkClientServerStream to identify the
// integer as an object identifier.
