Questions:

IFoo is going to be where? Which import statement from where? There's
also an __implements__ line you need to maintain. This is definitely
more overhead and things you can do wrong than just remembering how
to spell nonce. :)

I also understood from Steve that marker interfaces won't work this way,
as the security machinery can get into the way. It needs to be
able to find the methods on the interface. Don't know the details though.
