   If you want to copy MSCOM, why not go the whole way and add OLE DB style
error information. These are the IErrorRecords and IErrorLookup interfaces.
The purpose of IErrorRecords is to provide a stack of error information.
Being able to find out not just the top level failure but the details is
very useful. Java supports nested errors for the same reason. IErrorLookup
allows lazy retrieval of error strings, help text etc. which reduces the
cost of making this information available.
