It gets a little complicated with some things, but you can wrap pretty
much any native public .NET class _within_ a namespace which is neither
static nor abstract and which exposes safe COM types for direct COM
access.  You can actually expose some of the native .NET classes directly
by exporting a TLB from their core DLLs and registering it; I've done that
with mscoree.dll to get direct access to the StringBuilder, Stack, Queue,
and SortedList classes from COM.
