LOL!   :)

As others have said, templates do not yet work in interfaces, and there is  
another subtle problem: templates in interfaces are not virtual so they  
cannot enjoy covariance.  This is a problem for dcollections which uses  
operators in interfaces.

The only solution right now is to reimplement the template in the derived  
classes.

Not a fun situation...
