	Well - the "without a factory" is a totally artificial limitation
AFAICS - there should be no problem wrapping this in an infinite number
of factories; the factory just returns the static global instance - with
an incremented ref count.

	Secondly - this is possible with a singleton factory, but as b-a-s does
no reference counting, not using the ref count for lifecycle tracking.
Either way if you want to reliably detect client death reference
counting is a nightmare, better to listen on a client's connection
handle for 'broken' using ORBit_small_listen_for_broken and it's
friends.

	HTH,
