We have at least one user of Interface in the tree IIRC.
I'd much rather we did this the right way -- the only reason
it's the way Fred has coded it is that there's no obvious
body of code in the tree to copy, so we're thrashing around
a bit. If you tell us what the correct set of structs/classes/
interfaces/etc is then we can implement it :-)
