There is clearly a lot of history and would be useful to get 
confirmation that these are required for OMG complication.

As this is generated code then I'm curious where the original source is. 
Just wondering if it would make sense to check-in the original 
CORBA_TypeCode.idl.

Do we have any standalone tests that can be used to exercise these classes?
