From Java Tutorial 98-2: Java Language and Object Oriented Techniques CPS606 Fall Semester 1999 -- Sept 7 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken
Note that Interfaces often play a software engineering as opposed to required functional role
Note that Interfaces are not significantly used in current Java release where perhaps there are 15 times as many class definitions as interface definitions
