Let me see if I understand. It's hard to keep track
of class methods and events in Rose because it doesn't
synchronize them, so you want to stop using class
methods and just have events? And as a result you
want to force objects to reference other objects only
through interfaces?
I've tried writing code like that by hand. The
interfaces are more trouble than they're worth,
especially as the code ages. That's not something I'd
impose on anyone, especially to cover a missing
feature in Rose.
But as long as you use a code generator I say go for
it. Most modern compilers are very good at stripping
out the extra interfaces.
