Java and COM are not the only langauges with interfaces out there.  I
don't think 'contract' is the best word for what we're talking about, what
these things are are interfaces.  In UML, there is no 'contract' object,
but that doesn't stop the UML guys from using interfaces to define
contracts with rigor.
