Thank you. It is very interesting.
I think about it.

It is helper class of early binding of WIN32OLE.
For example,
  ext/win32ole/sample/olegen.rb uses it.
And, 
  ruby olegen.rb 'Microsoft ActiveX Data Object N.N Library'
creates some property which uses OLEProperty.

Yes, it is not so convenient.
