So far we haven't needed to use a different interface for objects
we are working with. We were happy with calling their respective
vtbl callbacks. Well, this will change soon as we will query an
exception (type of nsIException) but will need to promote it to
IVirtualBoxErrorInfo class. This promoting is done by
QueryInterface() callback which accepts 3 arguments: the original
object, ID of the new interface and address where to store the
promoted object.
As this is very basic operation, available to every object, it is
part of the ISupports interface among with other goodies like
AddRef() and Release().
