// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// A MessageAttachmentSet is an ordered set of MessageAttachment objects
// associated with an IPC message. There are three types of MessageAttachments:
//   1) TYPE_PLATFORM_FILE is transmitted over the Channel's underlying
//   UNIX domain socket
//   2) TYPE_MOJO_HANDLE is transmitted over the Mojo MessagePipe.
//   3) TYPE_BROKERABLE_ATTACHMENT is transmitted by the Attachment Broker.
// Any given IPC Message can have attachments of type (1) or (2), but not both.
// These are stored in |attachments_|. Attachments of type (3) are stored in
// |brokerable_attachments_|.
//
// To produce a deterministic ordering, all attachments in |attachments_| are
// considered to come before those in |brokerable_attachments_|. These
// attachments are transmitted across different communication channels, and
// multiplexed by the receiver, so ordering between them cannot be guaranteed.
