Issue 3163: PSS-FTF issue: Need additional C++ helpers                                                                                                                                                              (pss-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Interfaces and other IDL constructs have lots of helpers that
storage type don't have. In particular it would be useful to add
 - _out classes
 - _duplicate static functions
 - _downcast static functions
 - a CosPersistentState::release() static function that releases
   a ref-count on the given storage object instance (if not null),
   or releases the given CosPersistentState::StorageObjectRef.

Resolution: accepted
Revised Text: Specify _out classes, _duplicate and _downcast static functions, and a
CosPersistentState::release() function as suggested.
