I'm pretty sure the quote mentioned hungarian, didn't it? ;-)
I have had both books for a while (nearly since the moment I joined the
discussions here).
I am definitely against reinventing something, that's why I was looking
at stealing it, but I much prefer stealing from the neater, much more
readable, XPCOM than from the hungarian hellspawn code in Essential COM
(it's at page 69, under "Optimizing QueryInterface").
Since XPCOM doesn't have one, I'll go steal from Essential COM instead,
but I wished it was XPCOM. :-)
