Sorry, using my phone for this... And off the top of my head... Each object usually supports multiple interfaces...
In basic, the actual type does not matter. Names starting with an x refer to an interface. I need to look it up, but I think that the preference was a variant rather than object, but... It may no longer matter The developer who told me this could not remember why it when it mattered And I only had a problem because of it once, and that was years ago. Other languages, like Java, it matters. I'd we had a smarter IDE it might be useful to declare the actual type.
