//  DO NOT EDIT BY HAND unless you also fix the generator: the next run
//  overwrites this file. If a case cannot be expressed mechanically, teach the

//  This drives the SAME engine as examples/cpp/collections/collections.cpp, but through the COM
//  object wrappers/activex exposes rather than the flat C API, so it exercises
//  the marshalling layer no compiled language exercised before.
