 * @class TAO_EC_ProxyPushConsumer
 *
 * @brief ProxyPushConsumer
 *
 * Implement the RtecEventChannelAdmin::ProxyPushConsumer interface,
 * remember that this class is used to communicate with a
 * PushSupplier, so, in effect, this is the ambassador for a
 * supplier inside the event channel.
 *
 * <H2>Memory Management</H2>
 * It makes a copy of the SupplierQOS and the supplier object
 * reference.
 * It uses bind/unbind to control the lifetime of the
 * Supplier_Filter object.
 * The object commits suicide when disconnect_push_consumer() is
 * called.
 *
 * <H2>Locking</H2>
 * No provisions for locking, access must be serialized
 * externally.
