Sometimes you make up a noun to have a verb. Anytime you have a class
whose existence is to hold a method, I question it's validity. Maybe it's
just my own skew of OO, then. Any class that ends in "er" is suspect.
FooFrobber
ThingPasser
ObjectMaker
etc.

OK, but really this is moot. What I was suggesting is that the factor is
moot here because all it does is add a level of indirection to the dll
enumerator function.
