Actually, I think it is a good idea to do the refcounting thing
on COM objects anyway. I've used wrapper structs for that in the
past, but if you don't do that right you can escape a reference
which is freed, so putting it right on the object is kinda useful.
Of course, IUnknown AND RCObject could be refcounted roots.
