The Supports() call is the key takeaway here.

It separates the code (which is nice) but then gives you an annoying
extra step of typing hook.XXX for every method.
I don't have that problem, and I use interfaces extensively. Like

I think I asked this some years ago but I came across it again I just don’t get
what the point of this is. There is an “implements” property but it seems like
yet another half-baked feature from Delphi that wasn’t implemented completely
