Actually, there is one big thing that this would break; C++ interop. With
the way interfaces currently work, you can define an interface with
virtual methods, and you can call those methods on that interface, and, if
you've properly overlayed it over a C++ class instance, you will be
calling a virtual method defined on that C++ class. Fat interfaces would
break this capability, and would actually break some of my existing code,
due to the fact I use that exact capability. I do however mark my
interfaces as extern(C++), so perhaps they would have to be an exception
to the ABI if this change were made?
We wouldn't be changing the C++ ABI, just the D ABI. Only D interfaces
would be affected.
