{
  // = TITLE
  //   Description of a single parameter.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //
  //   If value_size is nonzero for OUT, INOUT, or RETURN parameters,
  //   it's (a) an indicator that the ORB returns a pointer-to-value
  //   for this parameter, and also (b) is the size of the top-level
  //   of the value that's returned (e.g. ignoring nested sequence
  //   buffers).  That is, it moves CPU cycles from runtime -- some
  //   calls to tc->size() -- to compile time where they're
  //   cheap/free.
  //
  //   It _must_ only be set for cases where the ORB allocates the
  //   return value, which must then be ORB::free()d ... e.g. where
  //   the value is a pointer to data such as a struct, sequence, or
  //   union.  (The CORBA C++ mapping doesn't require that for all
  //   "out" structs; only those of "variable size".)  If this value
  //   is nonzero, the value passed to do_static_call() must be the address
  //   of a pointer.

  //   used.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //   When using C++ exceptions, many C++ compilers will require the
