`Utils.isClass` and `Utils.isInterface` seem inconsistent. We should try and
come up with consistent patterns for "is any class", "is exactly class", "is
interface", "is exactly interface"

This seems asymmetrically different from `isClass`. We should come up with more
consistent terminology/usage.
