No code needs to be changed. Everybody keeps using MyInterface. Ali
This may work, even though it pollutes the namespace. Probably not a big deal though, better than having to completely generate the interface as a string(which offers very little compilation support(syntax errors, etc). It would be nice to have partial classes similar to C# even if they have to be in the same module which may seem pointless but with mixins it would definitely solve my problem.
