+ * *** A MSCOM PEER SHOULD REVIEW ALL NEW USES OF THIS API! ***
+ *
+ * Asynchronously instantiate a new COM object from a MTA thread, unless the
+ * current thread is already living inside the multithreaded apartment, in
+ * which case the object is immediately instantiated.
+ *
+ * This function only supports the most common configurations for creating
+ * a new object, so it only supports in-process servers. Furthermore, this
+ * function does not support aggregation (ie. the |pUnkOuter| parameter to
+ * CoCreateInstance).
+ *
+ * Given that attempting to instantiate an Apartment-threaded COM object
+ * inside the MTA results in a *loss* of performance, we assert when that
+ * situation arises.
+ *
+ * The resulting promise, once resolved, provides an AgileReference that may
+ * be passed between any COM-initialized thread in the current process.
+ *
+ * *** A MSCOM PEER SHOULD REVIEW ALL NEW USES OF THIS API! ***
+ *
+ * WARNING:
+ * Some COM objects do not support creation in the multithreaded apartment,
+ * in which case this function is not available as an option. In this case,
+ * the promise will always be rejected. In debug builds we will assert.
+ *
+ * *** A MSCOM PEER SHOULD REVIEW ALL NEW USES OF THIS API! ***
+ *
+ * WARNING:
+ * Any in-process COM objects whose interfaces accept HWNDs are probably
+ * *not* safe to instantiate in the multithreaded apartment! Even if this
+ * function succeeds when creating such an object, you *MUST NOT* do so, as
+ * these failures might not become apparent until your code is running out in
+ * the wild on the release channel!
+ *
+ * *** A MSCOM PEER SHOULD REVIEW ALL NEW USES OF THIS API! ***
+ *
+ * WARNING:
+ * When you obtain an interface from the AgileReference, it may or may not be
+ * a proxy to the real object. This depends entirely on the implementation of
+ * the underlying class and the multithreading capabilities that the class
+ * declares to the COM runtime. If the interface is proxied, it might be
+ * expensive to invoke methods on that interface! *Always* test the
+ * performance of your method calls when calling interfaces that are resolved
+ * via this function!
+ *
+ * *** A MSCOM PEER SHOULD REVIEW ALL NEW USES OF THIS API! ***
+ *
+ * (Despite this myriad of warnings, it is still *much* safer to use this
+ * function to asynchronously create COM objects than it is to roll your own!)
