What's missing?

opEquals is a special function of Object but interface's do not inherit from Object. Just override it on the class:

interface I
{
    // ...
    // bool opEquals(I i);
}

class C : I
{
    int i;

    // ...
    override bool opEquals(Object o) const
    {
        auto rhs = cast(const C)o;

        return (rhs && (i == rhs.i));
    }
}

void main()
{
    I i1 = new C;
    I i2 = new C;
    assert(i1 == i2);
}

What I know about this topic is in the following chapter:
