*able does not imply a marker interface. e.g., Runnable. I think you were
thinking about Serializable when you made that statement, but *able is not
such a convention for naming marker interfaces. It is a simple interface
with simple methods hence there is no need for a default impl. See some of
the implements in service-mgt & webapp-mgt.
