 The example is meant as an example, where the counter objects
 are accessed through a facade only.

 correct. only "exported" objects can be called via HTTP, and only
 the exported procs of the exported objects can be called.
 This can be done via a the following magic lines:

   # export the object
   receiver exportObjs c1
   # provide behavior to (a) export procs, (b) a stragey for sending back the result
   # and (c) a persistency berhavior
   c1 mixin {WebObject Send=PlainString Persistent=Eager}
   # export the method increment
   c1 exportProcs increment
