I'm not a real proponent of interface files (I used an inline syntax
before) but I just posted an example of a non inline syntax in this very
thread. I'm hereby maliciously choosing both sides at the same time. :)

Basically I came up with this non inline syntax to prove my point that
even
that can be turned into an inline one easily, but it may have merits of
its own.
