6.13 Supporting automation

So far we've only considered custom/binary COM interfaces, and not the Automation (IDispatch) interfaces that scripting languages normally access components through. The H/Direct IDL compiler will support the creation of IDispatch interfaces to Haskell COM components, through the support for [dual] interfaces. A generic, library implementation of IDispatch will be provided (a candidate for such an implementation is a cut down version of HaskellObject).

ToDo:fill in details of how this is all going to work
