typeid() broken for interfaces?

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

Wouldn't it be better to return the class's typeinfo if it is a class and
the interface's typeinfo if it isn't? The interface would then return the
most derived typeinfo that it knows of. I think, just because the interface
can be something other then a class object, doesn't mean it should be
treated as though it will never be a class object.
