OK< I am trying not to get into code conventions yet, but I have to make a
personal argument here:

why on earth are names this long a good idea? I know *I* can't remember
them.
thisPointer => this or this_p
interfaceIdentifier => intf_id or interface_id or even just id
pointerToReceivePointerToInterface => interface
Then code can fit on one line. I detest the notion that adding "Pointer
To Receive Pointer To" is added to a variable name. It's longhand
hungarian silliness. The fact that it is a void ** says the exact same
thing.
