Yeah I suppose I'm just saying "Interface default methods" can be
interpreted a few different ways and there's key differences between
Java-style, versus syntax sugar for mixing an interface and a trait in to
one unit, versus a user can effectively extend multiple abstract classes
but with interface keyword.

Appreciate it appears to still be a WIP and you may not have decided or
designed all the finer details yet but I think at the very least, the RFC
text needs to be updated as soon as practical to be much more explicit
about these details so voters know exactly what they're voting on when the
time comes.

Cheers.
