I think interfaces are and will be useful from the perspective of a
development team. They provide a way to document an API, and allow
others to collaborate on API design without worrying about what the
underlying implementation will be. They won't be useful to "just
framework developers" - they will be useful to anyone writing an API,
which is pretty much everyone that works on all but the *smallest*
applications. People have this odd idea that writing an API is
something you only do for other developers... you should write them
for yourself!

The "runtime" type-checking aspects of interfaces in a dynamic
language like CF are obviously reduced, but that doesn't make them a
useful architectural and documentation tool.
