ing that close() will erase a graphical rectangle on a display, not disconnect a filehandle or return "true" if it's nearby. So the useful feature of this abstraction is that, given an anonymous object, you don't ask, "do you implement method called so-and-so", e.g., "$anon->can('print')"; you ask it, "do you do the things that a Window does," e.g., "$anon->implements('Window')". So a class shouldn't inherit from an interface. It should assert that it implements it. - Kurt
