Unfortunately, omniidl2 is broken, and doesn't support the above
IDL. It is, however, happy with

interface IRObject {
  readonly attribute DefinitionKind def_kind;
  void destroy();
};
#pragma version IRObject 2.3

We're not especially keen to fix it since our new IDL compiler does
support #pragma inside an interface. The new omniidl is already used
by the Python ORB, and will soon be used with omniORB3.

Cheers,

Duncan.
