For the record, this

Sure - it's just a question of whether this level of hackery is desirable
for integrating with the rest of Gecko (a platform we control). I suspect
that we can probably solve whatever use-cases arise in cleaner ways, but we
should wait for use-cases to appear first.

We must implement COM interfaces in Rust for Windows platform things*
already. Specifically I have macros that generate IUnknown which for
Windows COM includes AddRef, Release, and QueryInterface. For COM

Additionally, there was some discussion about reference counting.
Implementing an XPCOM binding for Rust was not a popular idea and was
discarded. Still, it was considered important to be able to use
Gecko-style reference counting in a cycle collector-
Last week, people interested in the matter met to talk about
implementing DOM APIs in Rust. Here are my notes.
The summary of the meeting is that we shouldn't be designing bridge
framework type of stuff ahead of time and for the time being we should
instead address issues as they arise.
