        For now you get to hardcode the IID including its massive
number; but wait, a little bird taps on my shoulder.
  
        So; some people tell me that most apps have no new interfaces, so
if you want to create a simple calculator app with a built in minesweeper
game, you _have_ to hardcode the IID's unless you add magic new interfaces
to query on.     
  
        This whole thing is laughable.
