+//! Public, stateless API for payment-wrapped proxy calls.
+//!
+//! You choose *how* to pass arguments:
+//!  - `call0`   : target takes no args → we send `()`
+//!  - `call_blob`: you provide a Candid-encoded arg blob
+//!  - `call_text`: you provide Candid text like `("(42, \"hi\")")`
+//!
+//! In all cases you also pass:
+//!  - `fee_amount` (u128, in the unit implied by your `PaymentType` variant)
+//!  - `payment`   (which variant determines cycles vs token, patron vs caller)
+//!  - optional `cycles_to_forward` (for targets that expect cycles)
