nsISupports Proxies
A "Proxy", in this context, is a stub object which enables a method of any class which is derived from nsISupports and has a typelib to be called on any in-process thread. "Proxy" itself is possibly not the correct word to use, but this I use it for historical reasons.

XPCOM - Devmo
The Cross Platform Component Object Model (XPCOM) is a simple, cross platform component model. It has multiple language bindings and IDL descriptions so programmers can plug their custom functionality into the framework and connect it with other components.
XPCOM Type Library File Format, Version 1.0
XPCOM type libraries, or "typelibs", are binary interface description files generated by the XPIDL compiler. Type libraries enumerate the methods of one or more interfaces, including detailed type information for each method parameter.
