Again. Ocaml can GC any variable thas is no longer used 'as an ocaml
variable'. But it turns out the underlying object is still used 'as COM
object'. In the case of olegen may this be a bad design of oleaut32 server?
Anyway, 'automatic' solution does not exist, so if we map ocaml 'finalize'
to COM 'Release', we must maintain some 'discipline' trying to reference
ocaml variable somewhere if we know it is still used as COM object. Hmm. If
so, where in olegen.ml is this problem buried?
