In general: No. All descendants would still be the old interface. This
because that is the objecttype that is seen when the descendant is defined.
(e.g. on RTL compilation).
There is a Delphi feature called "Class helper" (which is one of the
C# backports, and not the nicest one), but this doesn't solve this problem,
since it doesn't help with already compiled code. (it only saves the
substitution)
