Thanks for the elaborate reply. Not expert in Scala/Java so I can't comment 
about most of it.

However, seeing that Ada has just copied Java interfaces, I'd like to known 
a bit more in detail why you say what I quoted, if you have the time. I have 
used interfaces a bit and indeed have some grudges with them, but I'd like 
to know if the situation is worse than I think -- or perhaps I'm not using 
them 100% properly.

Thanks in advance,

Alex.
