So whether it be this, or just an improvement on the Interfaces we
already have, I'd definitely personally be in favor of something
that "works like Interfaces except minus the negative performance
implications."
There are no significant performance implications of interfaces.
They're essentially a virtual method call, something that one is
doing all day long with Object Pascal classes.
I think the "performance implications" is more referring to memory
management.
Interfaces means an extra object per interface, so more objects on the
heap with all the extra memory management that implies.
No, interfaces by *themselves* don't mean that.
I meant in the context of traits and mixins, obviously.
