In the following snippet:
     Interface interfaceA{}
     class C:interfaceA{}
     class D:interfaceA{}

     interfaceA[] registry;
     register(interfaceA a) { registry ~= a; }
     unregister(interfaceA a) {idx = registry.indexOf(a); registry.replace(idx,
idx+1, null); }
In the above statement indexOf does not work.

Simple comparisons like in the below snippet
      class A {
          interfaceTest myInstance;
          setInstance(interfaceTest interfaceInstance) {
                 if(myInstance != interfaceInstance) //does not work
                 {
                      updateMyInstance;
                      doStuff;
                 }
          }
      }

      Just store various types of objects in a generic way like
           Object[] objects;
           objects ~= objA; objects~= interB and so on.

      I cant use Variant because interface can not be assigned to Variants and i
cant use Objects too.
