Limitations in this Release

The following are not supported in this release of idltojava.

#pragma ID and #pragma version are not supported; #pragma prefix can appear only at global scope.
idltojava allows modules to be reopened, but all declarations (particularly the ones in the earlier incantation of the module) must be fully qualified. For example:
```
  module M {
    interface I { };
  };

  module M {
    interface J : M::I { };
  };
```
Of the recently added type extensions to IDL, only longlong (signed and unsigned) is supported. The wide character IDL types wchar and wstring are not supported.
