But with this you wouldn't need to have more then one module with the same
name? All you'd need is a single module that satisfies all the interfaces
the rest of your code asks for. I would think that if this was implemented,
the community would gravitate towards a single IMysql interface which can
then be implemented by different mysql modules in different ways.

Well, in for instance Delphi interfaces could also have properties, so I
don't think that needs to be a problem. The interface wouldn't determine
the value of the property though, just that it should exist in a class
implementing that interface.

See for some Delphi examples here:
