Why a void* then? That's particularly unassertive. char* would be better, surely... A string isn't the only thing that could usefully be used as a descriptor.

What else would you consider useful? I'm only really aware of the most straightforward uses of CObjects (and wonder if the advanced uses actually see much use...).
