Interface Discussion
  Consensus to-date includes:
    Support for parameterized interfaces
    No support for run-time compatibility checking
  Prevailing opinion is to not unify classes and interfaces

  A couple of informal meetings were held over the past few weeks.
  Brad posted a summary of the progress on the reflector:

  and follow-on discussion ensued. Plan to re-sync and identify next
  steps.

Follow-up on Issue 210
  Still looking for details to justify any language enhancement.
