(Keywords: meta)

There are some idl interfaces which use nsISupports to pass variant types about - i.e. objects whose type is determined at runtime.
This makes it much harder to tell exactly what those interfaces do, and can obfuscate a lot of things.
So, where possible, we should replace such interfaces with ones that take/return statically-defined types.
