	We want to hide the linc stuff, certainly - since it's now all
internal; but I'm mostly interested in why you want to do this - perhaps
there is an easier way :-)

	I guess - I'd rather work on implementing some of the per object policy
stuff - eg. the existing timeout stuff in the CORBA spec, than adding
custom hooks of this sort - but it depends what the use-case is.
