// The following methods of a C gRPC call object aren't reentrant, and thus
// calls to them must be serialized:
// - start_batch
// - destroy
//
// start_batch with a SEND_MESSAGE argument can only be called after the
// OP_COMPLETE event for any previous write is received. This is achieved by
// pausing the requests writer immediately every time it writes a value, and
// resuming it again when OP_COMPLETE is received.
//
// Similarly, start_batch with a RECV_MESSAGE argument can only be called after
// the OP_COMPLETE event for any previous read is received.This is easier to
// enforce, as we're writing the received messages into the writeable:
// start_batch is enqueued once upon receiving the OP_COMPLETE event for the
// RECV_METADATA batch, and then once after receiving each OP_COMPLETE event for
// each RECV_MESSAGE batch.
