A factory is a callable object, such as a class or a function or a class 
method or a static method.

I think you'll want to write a factory that creates a Folder and marks 
the new Folder instance with a marker interface before returning it.

Alternatively, perhaps you can use the "chained series of factories" 
feature to use the existing Folder factory, and put after it your 
factory that will mark the folder with an interface.
