Well yes, but one could use DbI to discover the capabilities of an input
structure, and adapt accordingly.  Of course, the algorithm would need
*some* minimum functionality to work, but this minimal functionality may
change depending on the structure, and there may not be a common core of
minimum functionality. For example, there could be two algorithms, or
two implementations of an algorithm, with the same interface, that could
perform some operation, and they would be chosen depending on which
capabilities are presented by the structure.
