Sorry to produce these drop by drop, but while writing the last mail, I noticed another issue to think about:
What happens if the class also implements interfaces? A reference of the interface type must do reference counting as well. So the interface must also define AddRef and Release. This is currently true for COM-interfaces derived from IUnknown, but not for other interfaces.
