That's got nothing to do with reference counting functionality. I use
object-oriented coding practices all the time, but I don't need
reference counting for that.

So, nothing stops you from using interface delegates with CORBA style
interfaces. See the example code I just posted, where I converted the
original example to use CORBA style interfaces instead.

I'm a huge believer and user of design patterns, and most of them I've
implemented using Interfaces. Nothing there tells me I must use COM
style interfaces.

That I agree with. There seems to be a COM reference counted bug.
