Interfaces aren't really handled in a special way.  You could easily make it so 
that the infrastructure could be modified to allow true multiple inheritance.

I'm not sure I see an obvious benefit to making interfaces handled more as a 
special case.  Right now, the only place that really even knows about interfaces 
is dynamic_cast and initialization.  That seems like a good thing to me.
