Derive interface from class?

Since D uses the single inheritance model for classes, I wonder
if it is possible to write a class then extract the interface
from it?
e.g.,
class myclass
{
public void foo() { writeln("adf"); }
}
mixin!(extractInterface!(myclass, myinterface));
Where the mixin creates the interface as if I typed it by hand:
interface myinterface
{
void foo();
}
This would greatly simplify having to start writing from a base
interface then add the class. It would also let one do multiple
inheritance from classes that are already defined.
Since every class must have a well defined interface, this seems
like it should be possible and relatively easy using reflection.
A bad idea?
