Does it mean the procedure number in RPC header represents
the first procedure in the compount request?

struct COMPOUND4args {
 utf8string tag;
 op oplist<>;
}

What does tag represent for? How do I know how many operations
in the request? Do I need to go through each one request until
the storage exhausted?

Thanks, Jwu-Shyan
