What do "interfacing types" mean?

You somehow use a lot of different words than the rest of us, 
making you difficult to follow. And not a lot of concrete D 
examples. And I mean in general, not just this thread.

I've read dozens of your posts and I still don't have a good 
picture of what you're lobbying for. What I THINK I've gathered 
so far:

- Dmd should be rewritten in idiomatic D style, so that it's 
easier to experiment with.
- After that, a grand rework of the whole language.
- A small simple core for the reworked language, much like Lisp 
or Forth.
- A different fork for the language rework, instead of having all 
that in the same codebase behind `version` declarations or 
`-preview` switches or such.
- No serious priority to stability and backwards compatibility 
before the language rework is complete.

If I got those even nearly right, You're in essence proposing D3.
