Ahh... the schizophrenic nature of Object Pascal :-D, I never understood why interface and class should be different at first place, considering that interface is practically nothing more than pure abstract class with ref. counting.

It's different, because interfaces were originally introduced to support interfacing with COM and the automatic reference counted was just added as a big pile of sugar to simplyfy development in context with COM. Because in C++ you have to call AddRef and Release yourself...
