/**
 * Increments the number of calls to this object by one.
 *
 * After this method succeeds, it is guaranted that the object will remain
 * in the Ready (or in the Limited) state at least until #releaseCaller() is
 * called.
 *
 * This method is intended to mark the beginning of sections of code within
 * methods of COM objects that depend on the readiness (Ready) state. The
 * Ready state is a primary "ready to serve" state. Usually all code that
 * works with component's data depends on it. On practice, this means that
 * almost every public method, setter or getter of the object should add
 * itself as an object's caller at the very beginning, to protect from an
 * unexpected uninitialization that may happen on a different thread.
 *
 * Besides the Ready state denoting that the object is fully functional,
 * there is a special Limited state. The Limited state means that the object
 * is still functional, but its functionality is limited to some degree, so
 * not all operations are possible. The @a aLimited argument to this method
 * determines whether the caller represents this limited functionality or
 * not.
 *
 * This method succeeeds (and increments the number of callers) only if the
 * current object's state is Ready. Otherwise, it will return E_ACCESSDENIED
 * to indicate that the object is not operational. There are two exceptions
 * from this rule:
 * <ol>
 *   <li>If the @a aLimited argument is |true|, then this method will also
 *       succeeed if the object's state is Limited (or Ready, of course).
 *   </li>
 *   <li>If this method is called from the same thread that placed
 *       the object to InInit or InUninit state (i.e. either from within the
 *       AutoInitSpan or AutoUninitSpan scope), it will succeed as well (but
 *       will not increase the number of callers).
 *   </li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * Normally, calling addCaller() never blocks. However, if this method is
 * called by a thread created from within the AutoInitSpan scope and this
 * scope is still active (i.e. the object state is InInit), it will block
 * until the AutoInitSpan destructor signals that it has finished
 * initialization.
 *
 * Also, addCaller() will block if the object is probing uninitialization on
 * another thread with AutoMayUninitSpan (i.e. the object state is MayUninit).
 * And again, the block will last until the AutoMayUninitSpan destructor signals
 * that it has finished probing and the object is either ready again or will
 * uninitialize shortly (so that addCaller() will fail).
 *
 * When this method returns a failure, the caller must not use the object
 * and should return the failed result code to its own caller.
 *
 * @param aState        Where to store the current object's state (can be
 *                      used in overriden methods to determine the cause of
 *                      the failure).
 * @param aLimited      |true| to add a limited caller.
 *
 * @return              S_OK on success or E_ACCESSDENIED on failure.
 *
 * @note It is preferrable to use the #addLimitedCaller() rather than
 *       calling this method with @a aLimited = |true|, for better
 *       self-descriptiveness.
 *
 * @sa #addLimitedCaller()
