     This  function and its methods are very similar to 'LoadTypeLib'
     in that they return a 'ITypeLib-class' object containing a
     reference to a C-level  type library. Currently, the only
     difference is that the method for  a COMIDispatch object or a
     ITypeInfo object get the containing type library associated with
     the corresponding C-level object. And this is an object of class
     'IContainingTypeLib-class' as this is not necessarily the same as
     a library that is explicitly loaded from a file. As a result,
     'LoadTypeLib' is perhaps the preferred function.

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: the object from which to get the type library information.
          This is typically an object of class 'ITypeInfo-class' or a
          'COMIDispatch-class' object. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object of class '{ITypeLib-class}' or
     'IContainingTypeLib-class'.
