It looks like these fellows are tending to give up on the idea of
separate compilation which I think is a nice trend. Yet, at Microsoft
you can bet that they will stick the COM/DCOM model somewhere into
their implementation and end up with n... levels of replicated
interfaces in order to access each new 'intention'.
