Interfaces are not for grouping variable behavior, interfaces are for
allowing generic code to apply to varying data structures.
Consider a struct of function fields for grouping variable behavior without
a backing data structure.
If your interface type is not an input in the same package then you didn’t
need an interface.
I’m not convinced these three types should be interfaces.
