Since this is non-standard it needs a comment.  Probably just
referring to the constructor below.

Add a comment here stating that context_token does not take a ref.

I'm wondering whether this patch could be split since it's doing
rather more than fixing a ref counting issue.  Could you move the
constructor to CoGetContextToken first and then fix the refs, or would
that mess up the tests?

Huw.

That's exactly what I did initially, it was 3 patches series. And yes,
it breaks tests if separated, which means it's regressing even if for a
brief moment to be fixed by following commit, so I decided to merge them.

One thing I'm a bit worried about is that it's possible for client to
release this shared instance in a first place (and that's how it works
on windows, e.g. if you release pointer returned by CoGetContextToken it
will crash on subsequent method calls. Do we want to replicate that or
maybe it's better to make it more reliable and never destroy on Release,
but only in COM_TlsDestroy()?

I think we can leave it as you have it.  If we find an app for which
that causes problems, we can change it then.
