There was a discussion here a while ago (I think it was this summer,
but maybe earlier) about accessing a subprogram thru a pointer object.
There was some reason why all clients should always access the
subprogram thru the same pointer.

I find myself doing something similar (with OpenToken), so I'd like to
remember what the issue was, to see if it matters here.

Anyone remember?

I tried to find this with Google, but it doesn't have a fuzzy enough
search algorithm :). I need some human brains.
