Yes. Interfaces have no concrete vtable. Only classes do. A concrete class
can decide what the vtable has in it, and if you had a "default"
implementation, the compiler could stick that in there. Note that the
default implementation only can call other member functions within the
interface or module-level functions, interfaces cannot access any derived
data or members.
Whether such a change would be accepted? No clue.
