i don't understand the comment. this doesn't leak anything. i was hoping for
something more like:
  // Returns a pointer to the underlying PROPVARIANT for use as an out param in
a function call.

Done.

+  // ScopedPropVariant or one that was just Reset().
+  PROPVARIANT* Receive() {
+    DCHECK_EQ(pv_.vt, VT_EMPTY);
+    return &pv_;
+  }
+
+  // Calls PropVariantClear() on the underlying PROPVARIANT which frees any

[grt (UTC plus 2), 2013/01/10 20:58:08]

how about something like this to document the method's use rather than its
implementation:
  // Clears the instance to prepare it for re-use (e.g., via Receive).

[gab, 2013/01/10 21:56:46]

Done.

+  // memory used by its members and re-initializes it.
+  void Reset() {
+    HRESULT result = PropVariantClear(&pv_);
+    DCHECK_EQ(result, S_OK);
+  }
