 * You will always implement a mixed version: mcopidl generated skeletons up

 * So you'll inherit DynamicSkeleton<Static_skel> and give the interface you
 * want to implement dynamically as argument. Suppose your idl file looks
 * like
 *
 * <pre>
 * interface A { void a(); };
 * interface B : A { void b(); };
 * </pre>
 *
 * And you want to implement interface A "classic" (i.e. with mcopidl generated
 * virtual void a()) and interface B "dynamic", you would do
 *
 * <pre>
 * typedef Arts::DynamicSkeleton<A_skel> A_dskel;   // convenient with typedef
 *
 * class B_impl : public A_dskel {
 * public:
 *   B_impl() : A_dskel("B") {  // we dynamically implement the B interface
