Thanks for the suggestion.  I was hoping to avoid SAFEARRAY, because it's a pain
to use in C++.  Also, I vaguely recall running into some kind of compatibility
problem when I tried using it in the past, but I don't recall the details.
Maybe it's incompatible with an IUnknown interface.  But I might play around
with this, if I can't come up with something easier on the C++ side.
