remote is now our ABC - as it should be because it is the launching point of the interface.

it no longer inherits from CBindings.

move steps abstract method into Remote class. This is a much more meaningful abstraction - because it is the principle behaviour that distinguishes each kind of Remote.

add wrapper methods to CBindings. This provides a cleaner api for the Remote class.
