  // = TITLE
  //   Offers a convenient C++ interface to the IDL RT_Info structure.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //   For performance reasons the RT_Info data is represented as an
  //   IDL structure, this permits sending complete RT_Info's from the
  //   client to the server.  Unfortunately this precludes the usage
  //   of member functions and constructors, this class serves as a
  //   helper to implement those without loosing the performance on
  //   IDL.
