Not like class_implements(), since that requires processing the returned
array... Rather something that would function similarly to is_subclass_of()
(in that it returns a bool, not an array), but for interfaces.
I seem to run into a need for that on a fairly regular basis. (when I first
found class_implements() this is what I thought it did before reading the
docs)
