	Currently no - it should be somewhat easy to add one if you wish; but
as soon as you do that you need to do more, hook the finalization etc.
etc.

	Ultimately it'd be best to hook the CORBA_Object construction process
and allow people to 'inherit' from the CORBA_Object structure in the
normal C fashion - then you can add what you like, and clobber the
lifecycle pointers at the same time ;-)

	How does that sound ?
