Can we move them to an intermediate base class?  I would like to use QOM 
refcounting for other objects, such as SCSIRequest, so it is important 
to have Object as a pretty light-weight class.  Also (and perhaps more 
importantly), interface implementations are Objects too and they do not 
need properties.

I cannot think of any better name than IntrospectableObject, which is 
quite a mouthful.  I suppose that we could have the base class but still 
pass the objects to the function as Object * and use the OBJECT macro. 
Nothing of this is in a hot path anyway.

Paolo
