Actually, I don't want to remain on the books as being in favor of
this either. I agree with Per and you.
The only concern I have, and again this is something we hit in Kaffe,
is that you won't be able to run pieces of software because you're
throwing exception too eagerly for missing pieces you don't actually
invoke/need. In this case (incompatible interface implementations),
this shouldn't be the case.
