      Always send an address list PLUS a bit flag that indicates how to
      interpret the list. If the flag is 0, interpret the list as a target
      list. If the flag is 1, interpret the list as an exclusion list.

      When a target list is specified for an rpc, compare the size of the
      membership list with the target list. If (target * 2) <= membership,
      send list with exclusion flag = 0. If (target * 2) > membership, send
      set difference between membership and target list with exclusion flag =
      1. On the receiving end, if exclusion flag is 0, handle the message if
      we're in the list of addresses; if exclusion flag is 1, handle the
      message if we're NOT in the list of addresses.
      A rpc with a null target list would always use a exclusion flag of 1,
      exclude nothing.

      Even better, add new RpcDispatcher/MessageDispatcher methods to invoke
      on all except a list of addresses. This way, jgroups doesn't need to do
      anything "clever" - but always send list + bit flag in accordance with
      API.
