The propget can be implemented by creating a function 
"ComponentParameter".  The propget can not currently be implemented - 
this was discussed on this list earlier this year (or maybe even 
earlier).  win32com/server/policy.py needs to have support added in the 
_invokeex_ function, which I would be happy to coordinate.

It is a shame they use a property when it takes an argument - it defeats 
the purpose of properties IMO.
