Yes. We are not the first people with that problem, and it's
not surprising that after Microsoft introduced their COM
queryInterface(), everybody (Apple's core foundation, Bonobo,
Qt 3.0) clones this. In kparts, this is not formally supported,
but the BrowserExtension class shows that it can be simulated
easily :-)
