The plugin form of interfaces requires a small file for each indirection noun
of the form:
<pre>
require 'puppet/application/indirection_base'
class Puppet::Application::Catalog < Puppet::Application::IndirectionBase
end
</pre>
These share a directory with 1) base class implementations, 2) the actual
"interface" implementation.
This has a number of unintended and confusing user-visible consequences (e.g.
interface_base shows up in "puppet --help" as a command when it is not, etc.)
and asking users to understand / maintain this structure imposes an unnecessary
barrier to use / extension of the interface facility.
Therefore, in the integrated version of interfaces:
1) interface_base & indirection_base should be moved to a more appropriate
location
2) the "boilerplate" files should be auto-discovered / created by an
appropriate hook in core
3) the interface command should be moved into the application directory with
agent, etc.
4) this interface-specific application directory should be eliminated
