Indeed. Which is why I tend to scrutinize the features 'imported' from
c/C++ derived languages; the Java-style Interface, for example.
Is it useful, yes; just like the specifications in generics can be
used to solve a whole class of problems so can interfaces deliver a
guarantee that some object contains some function. {I've already
stated that they would have made Interfaces a lot more user-friendly
with the notion of properties; delegation, where some member of the
object implements the interface or some portion of it, would have been
nice too.}
