Yes, but the code would be in a DLL and the class would be called from Word
VBA, so there's no possibility of controlling the calling code. When Office
is fully .NET-ized, maybe this will change.

In the case in question, I am making it (nearly) impossible to use the DLL,
other than by calling it from a Word template that I am supplying.

Even tho the VBA project in that template will be password protected, which
really is not secure anyway, I want to protect the DLL from somebody passing
in incorrect types.
