+\brief Use ValueBroker as if it were a regular variable
+
+Proxy provides operators that allow you to use a ValueBroker instance as if it
+were a regular variable. Proxy implements a constructor that allows it to be
+used as a substitute return type for any function that returns ValueBroker.
+
+\see ValueBroker
+\see Proxy
+
+\par Example
+
+```cpp
+#include <crepe/util/Proxy.h>
+#include <crepe/ValueBroker.h>
+
+int calculation(int value) {
+ return 3 * value;
+}
+
+void anywhere() {
+ crepe::ValueBroker<int> foo_handle;
+ crepe::Proxy foo = foo_handle;
+
+ // implicitly calls .set()
+ foo += 10;
+
+ // implicitly calls .get()
+ int out = calculation(foo);
+
+ // explicitly cast (also calls .get())
+ int casted = int(foo);
+}
+
+```
