I'm not sure if it's a good idea to wrap a C++ IntPtr (RawObject) as a 
GCHandle, I don't think that's what it's for. A C++ instance should really be 
a 'void *' on the C/C++ side, and an IntPtr in C#. While a C# instance should 
be passed as a GCHandle from C# to the C/C++ side, and be a 'void *' there. 
Which is confusing, but when I typedef'd 'void *' as 'GCHandle' in C trying 
to make things clearer it messed up the marshalling.
