repo_id is the repository id of the interface (or struct, or union, or
enum, etc.) of the type.  For example, IDL:Module/Interface:1.0.

The snippet of code above checks to see if we know about the interface
described by the repo_id (it looks it up in the hash table), or if the
repo_id is an empty string, which means that the type is an generic
object reference.  I'm really not sure why ORBit uses an empty repo id
and not IDL:CORBA/Object.
