COM is espacially designed to allow for this - language interoparability. So
its not to surprising that its easily wrapped. But one can draw _no_
conclusions from that about C++ - as COM is a binary standard defined in
terms of C. The fact that VStudio integrates it nicely with C++ has nothing
to do with that.

I know, I meant that code too.
