As far as I understood it, HTMLInputElementFileSystem extends HTMLInputElement.
In WebIDL it would be:
HTMLInputElement implements HTMLInputElementFileSystem;
The problem is that SVGFitToViewBox and SVGZoomAndPan of the example above are
implemented by a lot of other interfaces as well. Supplemental is just supposed
to be set once per interface. That is why Supplemental doesn't work for SVG.
The alternative would be to implement the attributes and operations of
SVGFitToViewBox and SVGZoomAndPan into every class that implements them. This
would be a lot of code copies. And these are not the only interfaces that would
need to be merged.
