Of course they don't *have* to. Yet very often they do. But I should 
have (again) worded that more cautiously.

When doing Java, using interfaces like the ones found in the collection 
packages or e.g. HttpServletRequest and such usually leads to the 
delegation-pattern I described. The same for swing. Generally, a lot of 
code is written that declares first an interface & then some 
Impl-classes of that - for the sole purpose of working around the 
SI-caveats.

This shaped my viewpoint of interfaces - while on their own useful - as 
a necessary crutch to create a MI-like features, that I wanted to 
emphasize in this discussion.
