I can see the point. I'd prefer a separate annotation for implemented
interface methods - say @Implement(Runnable.class) - but that'd mostly
be valuable if it also was a widely available standard annotation, like
@Override.

And yes, I like the @see approach, but indeed it isn't notable enough.
Not in a "if it compiles, ship it" situation anyway. :)

Having seen the discussion in this thread I think I'll be more lenient
towards @Override on interface methods, though I still think I prefer
the reduced clutter of leaving them out.
