The guts of a COM interface is pretty basic. Plugin exposes An array of
function pointers.
These can be treated as plain old C functions, but also, the array
can be treated as a C++ Virtual Function Table. If your plugin is
written in C++, you directly expose your actual V-Table. So the host is
calling directly into your C++ code, no intermediate layer, very
efficient, yet simultaneously plain-C compatible.

...subject of course to public approval etc. If there are any other proposals, feel free to present them.
