Also, to add to Robert's post - This also applies to classes:
if you define the IObject interface all classes would inherit from it
and would have to provide implementation for it instead of just
inheriting the implementation from Object.
the best solution for this IMO is Christopher's first idea - make all
interfaces subtypes of object.
