    /// This method creates a native COM object that aggregates the passed in managed object.
    /// The reason we need to do this is to enable legacy managed code that expects managed casts
    /// expressions to perform a QI on the COM object wrapped by an RCW. These clients are relying
    /// on the fact that COM type equality is based on GUID, whereas type equality is identity in 
    /// the managed world.
    /// Example: IMethodXML is defined many times throughout VS and used by many managed clients
    ///          dealing with CodeFunction objects. If the CodeFunction objects they deal with are
    ///          direct references to managed objects, then casts operations are managed casts
    ///          (as opposed to QI calls), and they fail, since the managed type for IMethodXML
    ///          have different identity (since they are defined in different assemblies). The QI
    ///          works, since under the hood, the casts operations are converted to QI with 
    ///          a GUID which is shared between all these types.
    ///          The solution to this is to return to these managed clients a native object,
    ///          which wraps the managed implementation of these interface using aggregation.
    ///          This means the interfaces will be obtained through QI, while the implementation
    ///          will be forwarded to the managed implementation.
