Thank you for the pointer.
So, the nsIClassInfo::classID will be changed to nsCIDPtr soon,
And my problem (at hand) will go.
BTW, I added myself to cc list of this bug, so that I can update
my code when non IsPointer() version of nsID is supported. Is
this (self nominating cc list) allowed in Bugzilla? Sorry, if
not, I am new to Bugzilla.
