The current status of things makes no sense because it is inconsistent. Heck, even the fact that it is inconsistent shows that there are different rules for the same things. Semantically there is no difference between a class, an abstract class, or an interface. They are all classes, some simply omit implementation details and leave it to their subclasses. I hope this gets a yes, regardless of possible use cases, this is simply applying proper variant rules everywhere. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
