Now try extending the concept to two, three, or four such interfaces.
Files can be moved, opened, copied, and unlinked. Should they share
any sort of interface with dogs, boxes, handwriting, and railway
carriages? It's much better to simply define the attributes of each
object separately; most non-trivial cases don't involve simple methods
with no additional arguments, and the chances of an incompatibility
(or worse, a forced compatibility) go up.
