Hi Sascha,

The problem with Countable/Serializable and others is that you need an
obvious verb to append "able" to. Unfortunately, English is not the
most consistent of languages.

Here's a simple example - what would you call the interface shared by
a collection of Filters? You could try Filterable but actually, the
item that's filterable, is the input of a Filter and not the Filter
itself.

The result is a mix of interface naming standards. Some will be
verb+"able", some will be nouns "interface Filter" etc. Throw in
Abstracts and Traits - telling one type from another will be very hard
and you'll need a postgraduate degree in grammer analysis to even
figure out what to call things too often ;).
