Current method also has the problem of manually deal with exceptions and reliable upgrade interfaces, so to make it better, you anyway should go a slight different approach. I proposed something who fixed this and also creates a stable vtable, which can also be accessed by both Delphi and FPC, different from current. With some small work, it seems I can even remove the necessity to suffix the interface methods with "Impl" word.
