Yes, but that's the trade-off you're making for speed. All of the
changes we've discussed violate the C++ language mapping.

No, there's no standard way, and I don't know how there could be.
CORBA is a standard at many levels -- GIOP, IDL, object model,
language mappings, ... -- and there's no particular reason you have to
stick to the standard at all levels to make use of the rest of it.

Cheers,

Duncan.
