I appreciate your response. Yeah, COM is C++. Let me check the 
api functions to parse the IDL. And yeah, I just tested with 
interface and it must be aligned with the com vtbl. I think if we 
use dummy place holders, parameters and their types doesn't 
matter. In any case, I am confident that I can parse this idl 
file to a D interface.
